Laughter is the best medicine, and you will experience this with Sony MAX’s latest short format original – Dr Pran Lele. The short sketch comedy segment brings alive the concept of a filmy clinic that caters to noted Bollywood stars. The show revolves around the fictitious character of Dr Pran Lele, played by comic Kiku Sharda, and his assistant nurse CPR (Chinni Prakash Rawal), essayed by the emphatic Gaurav Gera.
In the show Kiku Sharda is seen as a delirious doctor who prescribes medical procedures like a vasectomy to treat a simple ailment like tooth ache or a liver transplant to for a bout of common cold.
Here’s what the duo had to say about their zany characters.
“I play the character called Dr Pran Lele who has no clue about what he’s doing. He doesn’t know his profession too well and that’s what makes this character extremely interesting and funny. I have always found short format gags interesting and it is something I can do it with ease, hence I took this opportunity and I hope the viewers will enjoy watching me in this new avatar.”Kiku Sharda, Actor
Dr Pran Lele, is something I am eagerly waiting for, I have always loved being on television and this time I got a chance to entertain people via my role of a nurse. The concept is something new for me, I have never worked on small-format for a channel. I am super excited for this show and look forward to working with my friend Kiku Sharda.Guarav Gera, Actor
Dr Pran Lele will also feature guest appearances by comedians like Sugandha Mishra, Dr Sanket Bhosale, Mubeen Saudagar, Vikalp Mehta and Jamie Lever as the Bollywood stars who visit the clinic.
