Ekta Kapoor’s ALTBalaji formally announced its upcoming series ’Girgit’ today. Starring Nakul Sahdev (‘Pagglait’, ‘Gully Boy’) in the lead, ‘Girgit’ is part of ALTBalaji’s strong upcoming slate for the year.
Interestingly the announcement made today has nothing to do with any poster of the show or its logo or cast, but is a play on the show’s name. The photo features a green and red coloured chameleon (Girgit in Hindi) and mentions its distinctive characteristics.
These include – “they can change colours”; “they can display a wide range of colours including red, green, blue, white, purple and more”; “they have eyes that can look in two directions at once”; and “they can launch their tongues at great speed to a distance of more than twice their body length”.
Not that’s one cryptic show announcement that makes you wonder what exactly is the show going to be about. ‘Girgit’ began shooting in Manali in July this year and wrapped up filming in September. The show starring Nakul Sahdev, Taniya Kalrra, Trupti Khamkar, Ashmita Jaggi, Samar Vermani, Shahwar Ali and Ashish Tyagi among others will now release soon on ALTBalaji.
Santosh Shetty (‘Shrikant Bashir’) has directed ‘Girgit’ that has been jointly produced by Rangrezza Films and ALTBalaji. ‘Girgit’ is the first web series coming from Rangrezza Films.
