MUMBAI:
UTV youth entertainment channel Bindass has announced Hass
Ley India Comedy Gang War auditions from 14 January.
Bindass
will hunt for a gang of comedians across cities like Kolkata
on 15 January, Ahmedabad and Lucknow on 17 January and Mumbai
and Delhi on 19 January. The Gang who wins the comedy gang
war will get an opportunity to act in a UTV Motion Pictures
movie.
 Shekar
Suman and Makarand Deshpande will judge the show hosted by
Mantra and Anirudh. The
six-week contest will be sponsored by Idea Cellular.
Speaking
about the contest, Bindass CEO Zarina Mehta said, "Everyone
enjoy, chill out and feel secure with their gang. Thus an
idea of making a youth centric comedy contest with a gang
came into picture and we are looking for fresh talent scattered
in India."
Bindass
vice president head of content and operations Raman Chibb
said, "All the gangs will perform for 3-4 minute and
based on viewers SMS voting and judges marks, one gang will
be chosen as winner."
"During
the six weeks we will also show the clippings of participants'
preparations during breaks," added Chibb.
On
his role as a judge Shekhar Suman said, "Makrand and
I share a vast theatrical experience and after judging the
Laughter Challenge, this gang war will be a great experience.
This I hope will be a street fight comedy show with lots of
Bindassiyat."
