Applause Entertainment, the content studio from the Aditya Birla Group, led by media pioneer Sameer Nair, has commenced filming of its new comedy series ‘Mind The Malhotras’. Based on the hilarious Israeli comedy, ‘La Famiglia’, ‘Mind The Malhotras’ follows the lives of a perfectly normal urban family with many reasons to be happy, and even more reasons to go to therapy… their sex life, her complaints, his best friend, and of course, his mother.
The Malhotras, Shefali (Mini Mathur) and Rishabh (Cyrus Sahukar) live with their three children and Rishabh’s Mummyji (Sushmita Mukherjee) in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra West. Even as the series follows a larger arch, each episode is a new therapy session in which they bring up the most embarrassing, bizarre, awkward and insane moments that are a part of every family’s life!
Said Sameer Nair, CEO of Applause Entertainment, “The premise of the series is very unique, and yet completely relatable with the modern Indian audience. We’re excited to have a fantastic cast like Mini and Cyrus, and the wonderful team of Sahil Sangha and Ajay Bhuyan onboard for this show.”
Sahil Sangha is also co-directing this show along with Ajay Bhuyan. Producer, Show-runner and Director, Sahil Sangha said, “The trappings of comedy inside a family has been explored many times in the past, but this series takes the subtle quirkiness in the same dynamics up a notch.”
Mini Mathur added, “I was able to identify with the character of Shefali almost instantly, and the way Applause Entertainment and Sahil Sangha were seeing this play out, made me absolutely confident that this would be the perfect show for me.”
Cyrus Sahukar stated “In today’s day and age, the very premise of a show which sees a couple that has three children, seek therapy, and recount all the embarrassing and awkward shenanigans that they get up to as a family, makes for hilarious viewing and I was eager to be a part of all the madness!”
