    ‘Video Cam Scam’: EPIC ON’s new gripping series exposes the world of sextortion

    Mumbai: Did you know India witnesses 500 cases of sextortion every day? Sextortion scams are the biggest threats of the internet, and EPIC ON’s upcoming web series is an edge-of-the-seat thriller that tackles this subject.

    ‘Video Cam Scam’ starring Amruta Khanvilkar and Rajneish Duggall, is a twist and turn filled tale about a husband and wife battling the dark and deadly forces behind the shocking online crime known as ‘sextortion’.

    Scheduled to release on 12 January, the series follows Vinay Kumar, an honest and upright police officer, and Priya, his kind and loving wife. The picture-perfect couple is pulled into the sinful world of sextortion when Vinay gets trapped in this wicked web.

    Will Vinay be proven innocent? Can Priya save her husband?

    The Blue Drop Films production answers these enthralling questions while also serving a timely reminder against the dangers of the internet. The show also stars Farnaz Shetty, Kunj Anand, Rahul Singh, Aradhana Sharma and Pritam Singh in pivotal roles.

    Sharing his comments on their second web show, EPIC ON COO Sourjya Mohanty said, “At EPIC ON, our endeavour is to unveil diverse and novel stories. While our first release was a witty con caper, our second show is a thrilling and unfiltered look at the darker side of the internet that many Indians don’t know of. Video Cam Scam will keep you hooked till the end, while also sharing an important message”.

    Talking about the project, Amruta Khanvilkar said, “Video Cam Scam is a thrilling and entertaining drama with a pertinent message. The story seamlessly blends thrills and suspense with a real and relevant subject. What drew me towards my character was how she switches from devoted wife to a headstrong warrior at her own will”.

    Sharing his thoughts on the series, Rajneish Duggall said, “The first time I read the script of this show, I was quite taken aback by how deep and dark the world of sextortion runs in India. When I read the way Vinay has to battle all odds to get justice, I knew this was a role that I couldn’t say no to”.

    ‘Video Cam Scam’ marks EPIC ON’s second coveted release post the success of ‘Tatlubaaz’. After starting with an entertaining bang, EPIC ON looks all set to capture eyeballs again with a scintillating tale of crime, love, sin and justice in the digital world.

  • Colors to strengthen weekend programming with ‘Comedy Nights Bachao’

    Colors to strengthen weekend programming with ‘Comedy Nights Bachao’

    MUMBAI: All India Bakchod’s (AIB) roasting session might have raised many controversies earlier this year, but it did introduce India to a new kind of comic genre – ‘insult comedy.’ And now popular Hindi GEC is ready to take up the challenge of bringing this genre to national television through a new show called Comedy Nights Bachao, which is an extension of the Comedy Nights franchise.

     

    Produced by Optimystix, the show will take jibes at famous and infamous celebrity guests at the hands of actor-comedian jodis through acid-tongued humour. The funny panel of comic assassins will descend on television screens from 5 September, every Saturday at 10 pm on Colors.

     

    Colors CEO Raj Nayak said, They say comedy is a serious business and we have realised it is indeed a serious one. As a progressive channel we keep a tab on the evolving taste of our viewers and thus have identified the various elements of hilarity that makes them tick. Through Comedy Nights Bachao, we are foraying into a new genre of comedy, which is getting extremely popular. With this new brand of humor, we hope to redefine the comedy genre altogether.”

     

    Every week Comedy Nights Bachao will bring together celebrity guests whose feelings, personality traits will be ripped apart through tongue-in-cheek punch-lines, poking fun at their personal lives and public image. The roasting burns will be served by comic crusaders teamed together as five jodis – Krushna Abhishek, Sudesh Lahiri and Sara Khan; Bharti Singh, Karan Wahi and Pritam Singh; Anita Hassanandani and Mubeen; Shruti Seth and Shakeel Siddiqui; and Pooja Bose and Naseem Vicky.

     

    Elaborating on the show’s format, Colors programming head Manisha Sharma said, “There is a whole new rapidly-developing genre of insult comedy, which has been grabbing eyeballs lately. Through Comedy Nights Bachao, we are looking forward to curate a daring enterprise adding a new dimension of wit. We will be putting an eclectic mix of celebrity guests in the spotlight as actor-comedian jodis target them with carefully put together comic gags while raising the laughter quotient on a weekly basis.”

     

    Optimystix Entertainment India producer Vipul D Shah added, “Distinctive and sustained comedy is our strength at Optimystix. Comedy Nights Bachao is a unique show and will prove to be an extremely entertaining one.”
