Mumbai Calling, a new seven part comedy series from the maker of British TV classics Birds of a Feather, Auf Wiedersehen Pet and Lovejoy, was filmed entirely on location in Mumbai.
The comedy series tells the tale of a British Asian, Kenny Gupta (played by Sanjeev Bhaskar), who is sent out to India to turn around a failing call centre run by Manager, Dev (Nitin Ganatra).
The arrival of Terri Johnson (Daisy Beaumont), an assessor from London HQ, only adds to the problems - the call centre is staffed by twenty-something operators who deal day and night with irritable UK residents.
Also starring some of Indian Cinema’s leading names including Raj Zutshi from Slumdog Millionaire, Lilette Dubey, Chunky Pandey and rising talent Via Das, the 30-minute shows will be aired at 9pm on Saturday nights.
The show also features special guest appearances from a host of familiar British faces including Richard E Grant and Dennis Lawson.
