SAB TV's new show launch 

Jeannie Aur Juju 

It’s the season for some otherworldly romance on SAB TV, as the channel brings you a fascinating show about the love of a genie for a regular mortal.

Owning a genie is everyone's dream since their childhood but how does one believe their eyes and ears when they actually have a gorgeous genie appear in front of them?

Getting your wishes granted is one thing, here, the hero of our show falls in love with the quirky Jeannie and what follows is more comical than romantic. SAB TV's latest show Jeannie Aur Juju is an Indian adaptation of the supremely popular American sitcom of the 80’s with a fantasy premise called ‘I dream of Jeannie’. The show used to be aired in India, in the 90’s, after being dubbed in Hindi.

Sticking mostly to the original content and story of the show originally created and produced by the legendary author Sidney Sheldon, the Indian adaptation on SAB TV will show a pilot liberating a genie from two thousand years of imprisonment inside the proverbial bottle, and the two eventually falling in love. It’s love at first sight for the genie and the realisation of glorious freedom after 2000 years of incarceration. Having been trapped in a time warp, she is gifted with eternal youth. With Ali Asgar playing Vicky, the pilot and Giaa Manek playing Jeannie, the show promises to be charmingly funny and irresistibly cute.

Commenting on the launch of the new show, Anooj Kapoor, EVP and Business Head SAB TV said, “Its a romantic comedy and is sure to win hearts instantly. The concept will appeal to all ages and it’s a complete family entertainer. The kids would love the magic and mischief while the adults can relish the emotional layers and the humour. And all this is further enhanced by special effects and entertaining visual gimmickry."

In the show, Vicky is constantly caught between a rock and a hard place. He has nosy neighbours. and friends who constantly feel that Vicky owns something suspicious that’s responsible for all the sudden magical changes in his life. Vicky tries in vain to keep Jeannie away from prying eyes only to complicate matters further worse. Meanwhile, we discover Vicky is already engaged and to make matters worse, his fiancée is his boss’s overzealous daughter!

The hilarious chaos as a result has everyone running after Vicky to try and find out his secrets but Jeannie saves the day with her magic tricks and gets Vicky out of trouble.

Gia Manek and Ali Asgar are both popular names on Indian Television. Gia has experimented with daily soaps and even reality shows and won the hearts of her audience in every avatar. As for Ali Asgar, he has spent more than a decade doing a variety of shows and is now one of the most sought after television actors of today.
