Abhishek Banerjee, Barkha Singh come together for 'The Great Weddings of Munnes'

Panaji: Actor Abhishek Banerjee and Barkha Singh will be playing lead roles in Raaj Shaandilyaa's 'The Great Wedding of Munnes.

Created and produced by Raaj Shaandilyaa, The Great Wedding of Munnes is a Jio Studios Original web series that will premiere exclusively on Voot Select.

Directed by Sunil Subramani, the story follows a middle-class man’s desperate attempts to marry the woman of his dreams leading to a series of hilarious misadventures.

Talking about his venture into the OTT space, Raaj Shaandilyaa said, “This is my first collaboration with Jio Studios and also my debut in the OTT world. With so many crime and thriller shows being made, I really felt that there should be a comedy show mounted as big as a Bollywood movie. The team at Jio Studios backed my vision and the collaboration has been great so far. Our aim is to change the trend and give the audience an entertaining ride.”

Abhishek Banerjee said, “I always look for roles that challenge me as an actor and I was really looking for a good comedy script and this is a really funny story. When the makers approached me to play Munnes and narrated it to me, I was completely mind blown. We have begun shooting for the show in Rohtak and I am really looking forward to it.”
