Filmmaker Farah Khan turns ‘Laughing Buddha’ for Zee Comedy Factory

As the pandemic continues to linger on and cast a shadow of gloom over the nation, a forthcoming reality show, Zee Comedy Factory makes an attempt to lighten up the mood by offering its viewers an escape from all the stress via the route of some much-needed humour and rib-tickling comedy.

Regaling viewers with the entire spectrum of comedy ranging from visual comedy, stand-up, funny skits to parodies and spoofs, the comedians will have none other than the witty and humorous choreographer-turned-filmmaker Farah Khan as the ‘Laughing Buddha’ they must entertain and make laugh out the loudest.

As the Laughing Buddha, Farah Khan, whose biggest blockbusters bear her unmistakable stamp of wacky humor, will not just score the comedians or react to their jokes and punches but be a catalyst for all the madness. Her comic timing, her hysterical commentary and priceless reactions will surely make the audience laugh their hearts out. First time ever the show will have never seen before visual challenges in the comedy acts like a comedy act on the slope, a 90 degree set, miniature set ups that is not just bound to accentuate the level of comedy, but will also ensure that every comedian tries out something new in every act.

The teams will have a mix of comedians, actors and singers including Ali Asgar, Sugandha Sharma, Sanket Bhosale, Guarav Dubey, Ballraaj, Siddharth Sagar, and Divyansh Dwivedi, actor Tejasswi Prakash, singer-anchor Aditya Narayan and dancer Punit J Pathak, who will go all out to leave the viewers in splits.

Talking about the show, Farah reveals, “I must say that this concept is a very thoughtful and timely initiative as the sole agenda behind Zee Comedy Factory is to spread cheer and joy amid these trying times. Rather than just being a competition between two teams of comedians, the show plans to put comedy — ranging from slapstick to stand-up, spoofs, skits and parodies — to good use in uplifting the nation’s collective mood. We want families to sit back and relax in the comfort of their homes and laugh out loud with some of India’s top comedians tickling their funny bone. On the show, I’m called the ‘Laughing Buddha’ and all the artistes have to entertain me along with the audience. In these stressful times, I think I have got the best job and that is to be entertained by the best in the comedy business. We truly have some great comic talent on the show, and I am looking forward to having a blast laughing my heart out and see these visual challenges unfold.”

(The show will premiere on July 31 and air every Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm on Zee TV.)
