Back in July, we’d reported on noted writer, director Ashvini Dheer producing a sitcom for SAB TV. The show, tentatively titled Lapata gunj, is expected to go on air in the second week of October and will occupy the the 10.30 pm slot. Lapata gunj is an adaption of late Sharad Joshi’s works. Noted actors like Vinay Pathak, Farooq Shaikh are tipped to make guest appearances. When contacted, Pathak denied the news. Producer Ashvini Dheer too maintained that Pathak isn’t part of his show. However, a source that is closely associated with the show informs, “Yes, we’re in talks with Vinay Pathak. If everything goes smoothly, then we’ll have Pathak playing a cameo for us.” Talking about the show, a source says, “The basic plot evolves around lives of seven characters, who reside in Lapata gunj village. Sucheta Pawase, Vineet Kumar, Abbas, Sanjay Mishra, Rohitashv Gaur, Shubhangi Gokhale are among these characters. There’ll be various actors who’ll be making guest appearances. Vinay Pathak is likely to play the role of a politician. This is basically a cameo of one or two episodes. The producers are also trying to rope in Farooq Shaikh for one of the episodes. Noted actor Varun Badola will be writing few episodes for the show.”
