SonyLIV and Arré join hands for a new Web Series

After announcing a distribution alliance, SonyLIV and Arré, have now come together to co-produce a digital series. The lead of the series, Rithvik Dhanjani, is one of the most popular faces on Indian television who is currently anchoring Super Dancer, the No.1 reality show on Sony and was also last seen in I Don’t Watch TV and Arré Ho Ja Re-Gender on Arré.

Set against the backdrop of a big fat Indian wedding, the show is a comedy of errors that promises to be a visual treat and centres around a wild bachelor trip gone horribly wrong.

A wolf pack of three best friends, a groom-to-be and his two quirky friends take off on a bachelor trip just before the wedding. With a bullying bride-to-be back home, some comical misadventures on a foreign sojourn and an unexpected encounter with a beautiful stranger, the protagonist comes to understand the meaning of love and friendship.

The show, produced for Arré and SonyLIV by Rithvik and Srman Jain, also a well known TV actor, will go into production soon and is planned for launch in early 2017.
