And Chalo Koi Baat Nahi is a satirical sketch comedy with great performances put up by the artists. The show interestingly captures challenges of the common man while bringing in loads of laughter. As showrunners, Gursimran Khamba and Amit Tandon have been successful in creating an out and out family entertainer.”

“We are extremely thrilled to release Chalo Koi Baat Nahi on SonyLIV. It has been such a tremendous experience creating this show, working with Gursimran and a very talented crew that has given their best. There are about four sketches in each episode making it a total of 24 sketches, and that increased the complexity of casting and production processes and involved a lot of switching between locations. It’s been a journey that we won’t forget, and we hope the audience enjoys watching it as much as we did making it.”

“It’s been truly fun and rewarding an experience working on Chalo Koi Baat Nahi. It’s unlike any other comedy drama; it’s old school and the kind of show you can watch with your whole family. Besides, it’s a very classical format – In this show, we look at subjects like education, environment, etc. in India. The show brings to light important challenges that we face on a daily basis in an entertaining and light manner. Viewers can expect laughs, a lot of fun cameos from familiar people will help one unwind at the end of a hard day.”
