MUMBAI: Paying tribute to the eminent
cartoonist and creator of ‘The Common
Man’, SAB will re-telecast its popular
comedy show ‘RK Laxman Ki Duniya’ with
back-to-back episodes.
The channel will air the show on Saturday,
31 January, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.
SAB TV senior EVP and business head Anooj
Kapoor said, “India will definitely miss RK
Laxmansaab, his blunt and honest depiction
of Indian way of life is what kept the
humour alive in daily newspaper reading.
With ‘RK Laxman Ki Duniya’, we wanted to
immortalise his ideas and thoughts on Indian
television too. His ‘Common Man’ series
fitted perfectly in line with the content
proposition of our channel.”
Laxman’s character of a meek and silent
common man captured the idiosyncrasies of
life and politics in India. His opinions and
thoughts on life in India were showcased not
only through his cartoons but also on
television through ‘RK Laxman Ki Duniya’.
Based on the books and works of RK
Laxman, the show was produced by JD
Majethia of Hats Off Productions and
Dharmesh Mehta of NamanRaj Productions
Pvt Ltd. It was originally telecast from 2011
to 2013 and captured episodes and incidents
involving happenings in the life of ‘The
Common Man’ through a cast featuring Atul
Parchure as the common man, Vandana
Pathak as his wife, Deepak Ghirwale as the
retired Sanskrit teacher and more.
