‘There’s a lot of pressure from the audience’s side’

The actor said, “Yes, there’s a thought of bringing it back. There’s a lot of pressure from the audience’s side. Wherever I go, even at the airport, people ask me, ‘Why don’t you get Movers And Shakers back?’ We were going through some strange times where television had taken a backseat, and OTT wasn’t into non-fiction. They only wanted to back fiction series. I felt like television wasn’t the right place for Movers And Shakers to be back as no one was watching it, and it receded into the background. I just waited for the opportune moment. I think now is the time to bring it back.”

He added, “In fact, two of my iconic shows – Movers N Shakers and Dekh Bhai Dekh – are on the verge of being developed. It’s too early to talk about them because they’re both at a nascent stage. But it will and should happen.”
