“The promos for the new season have been made, but we start shooting only after the festival of Ganpati,” says Broacha. However, the actual shooting is yet to begin. The channel is looking to start airing the new episodes starting October 16, but the rain has prevented the crew from shooting outdoors.

Bakra

has always been MTV’s signature property, and the channel has unfailingly brought out a gag each April Fool’s day since its launch. However, this time, the channel came across a new format, which appealed to everyone, and it was decided that the show would be restarted in a new avatar.

A few episodes have been hosted by other VJs from the channel, but the forthcoming edition will bring Broacha back. “We’re all leading hectic lives and looking for some sort of release, and

Bakra

brings that element of fun to people’s lives. People think reality is what MTV is all about, but it’s actually a youth ‘adda’ that plays

harmless pranks on people for kicks,” says Aditya Swamy, channel head, MTV India.
