Comedian Sunil Grover and Bigg Boss 11 winner Shilpa Shinde are all set to star in a new web show that will be produced by the Simoes sisters, Preeti and Neeti, reports a leading daily.
Confirming the news, a source told indianexpress.com, “In a time when makers are scared to launch new shows during IPL, Preeti and Neeti have decided to dive straight into the ocean during the cricket season. They are working on a one-of-a-kind show for the digital world that will bring together cricket and comedy. Sunil and Shilpa will play commentators and discuss the on-going IPL matches. It would be along the lines of extra innings, only it would be much more fun and entertaining. Both Sunil and Shilpa have liked the idea and seem quite excited.”
The reports further stated that the team is finalising the script now, post which there would be a monetary discussion with Sunil and Shilpa. The makers will make the news official only when the two actors sign the contracts. While several digital platforms have been approached for the show, IPL being a Star India property, the show would most probably stream on Star’s digital platform, Hotstar.
