TV show reboots that became popular on OTT
Pavitra Rishta 2.0
Pavitra Rishta was sacred because of Archana and Manav's love story and struggles. Initially played by Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh Rajput on TV, the rebooted version for OTT replaced late actor Sushant with Shaheer Sheikh. Netizens were furious over the move but slowly opened up and accepted Shaheer in the role, too.
Qubool Hai 2.0
Very few would remember it now but back in 2021, Karan Singh Grover and Surbhi Chandna did come back for the OTT version of their popular TV family drama, Qubool Hai. Titled Qubool Hai 2.0, the excitement for the show was at the peak but owing to the execution, Qubool Hai 2.0 did not work as expected on OTT.
Jamai 2.0
The OG cast of Jamai Raja reunited for the OTT version of their popular TV show. Yes, Ravi Dubey, Nia Sharma and Achint Kaur got back for the OTT version of the show and that got many excited. The story, unfortunately, did not connect as much as the hype for this one, and thus, we were left with just one season of Jamai Raja being revived.
Bade Acche Lagte Hain
Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar's Bade Acche Lagte Hain went through multiple transformations on OTT. The latest season aka season 4 sees Harshad Chopra and Shivangi Joshi in the lead roles. The season is seeing some success rate, much like the previous ones.
Sarabhai vs Sarabhai
We all grew up loving modern and sassy mother-in-law Maya (Ratna Pathak Shah) and her chemistry with very 'middle-class' Monisha (Rupali Ganguly) in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. Thus, when season 2 was announced for an OTT release, the excitement was at peak. However, it soon fizzled out since the characters just did not have the traits that we once recognized them for.
All the above mentioned TV shows are streaming on OTTplay Premium.

Mukesh Rishi says his army background helped him understand the world of ‘Salakaar'

Mumbai: Actor Mukesh Rishi, who essays the role of Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in the recently released streaming series 'Salakaar', has shared that his army background came in handy to understand the world of 'Salakaar'. The series revolves around an Indian spy who is sent on a mission to Pakistan and navigates through his professional and personal life. Mukesh was quite impressed by the story and hence decided to come on board. He said, 'When I heard the story, I liked it. I found it very interesting. The kind of research that director Faruk Kabir had done and the level of preparation he did made me want to work with him on this project. His professionalism and overall involvement in the project drew me to it'. Mukesh essays the role of Pakistani military dictator, Zia-ul-Haq in the series. Zia is the bedrock of most of India's problems. He was the second Pakistani dictator after General Ayub Khan. He gave a definitive form to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's plan of 'Bleed India by thousand cuts', a thousand year war declared against India for Pakistan's own interest. Later, Zia got Zulfikar Ali Bhutto framed in a case, and got the death penalty approved for him through hand-picked judges. Talking about his role as Zia, and how he prepared for it, he said, "I tried to do some research online. Also, I have an army background and have a little knowledge of the army. So that helped me. There was a particular get-up and dress-up. And since my character is from Pakistan, we looked at the photos available online and heard them for the mannerism part'. When asked what element of the series he enjoyed the most, he said, 'After working for so many years, I have realized that every episode of a show should be good. The story should not be long but just brief enough for the audience to enjoy it'. "I know almost everyone; they are very capable actors, so you get to see their influence in the series. Sometimes it is not necessary how much work we have done with them; sometimes it is about how they have done their work. So I feel they all have given their best and done a good job', he added. Produced by Sphereorigins, 'Salakaar' is available to stream on JioHotstar.
