Shekhar Suman reveals plans to 'bring back' his iconic shows Movers N Shakers and Dekh Bhai Dekh: 'It will happen'

Shekhar Suman's popular shows Movers N Shakers and Dekh Bhai Dekh ‘are on the verge of being developed’, the actor has confirmed.

Shekhar Suman was seen recently in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's OTT debut, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. In an interview with News18 Showsha, Shekhar spoke about his old shows, Movers N Shakers and Dekh Bhai Dekh. Conversations have already begun and the actor even hinted that this time around, Movers N Shakers will premiere on an OTT platform.

'There’s a lot of pressure from the audience’s side'

Shekhar Suman started hosting Movers N Shakers in the last nineties.

The actor said, “Yes, there’s a thought of bringing it back. There’s a lot of pressure from the audience’s side. Wherever I go, even at the airport, people ask me, ‘Why don’t you get Movers And Shakers back?' We were going through some strange times where television had taken a backseat, and OTT wasn’t into non-fiction. They only wanted to back fiction series. I felt like television wasn’t the right place for Movers And Shakers to be back as no one was watching it, and it receded into the background. I just waited for the opportune moment. I think now is the time to bring it back."

He added, “In fact, two of my iconic shows – Movers N Shakers and Dekh Bhai Dekh – are on the verge of being developed. It’s too early to talk about them because they’re both at a nascent stage. But it will and should happen."
