Chandigarh , 31st March 2023 (Punjabi Teshan) ZEE5, India’s largest home-grown video streaming platform, premiered their latest original series United Kacche starring Sunil Grover on 31 March 2023. A light-hearted dramedy starring Sunil Grover, United Kacche also stars Satish Shah, Sapna Pabbi, Nikhil Vijay, Manu Rishi Chaddha, Nayani Dixit and Neelu Kohli in pivotal roles. Produced by Yoodlee Films and directed by Manav Shah, the 8-episodic series marks the return of Sunil Grover after his last successful series on ZEE5, Sunflower.
United Kacche is the story of Tejinder ‘Tango’ Gill (played by Sunil Grover) from Punjab who aspires to migrate to a foreign land for a better life and is willing to go to any extent to fulfil this dream that he inherited from his father and grandfather. Out of desperation, he gives his ancestral land as collateral in-lieu of getting a chance to move to England and do any makeshift work, but grass is always greener on the other side, and soon after moving to UK, he realises the difficulties faced by an immigrant in another country. The show beautifully captures the nuances and difficulties of these immigrants in foreign lands with humour and drama.
To promote the series, Sunil Grover visited Chandigarh and even attended the IPL match between Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders. At the match, he was seen appealing to various cricketers like Shikhar Dhawan and Sam Curran to take him to United Kingdom in line with his character. His fans were pleasantly surprised to see him at the match and were in awe of him.
Actor Sunil Grover said, “Coming to Punjab is like coming back home, back to my roots and to the starting point of my acting career. Also, the story is partly based in Punjab, so it was a heartfelt wish to visit the people of Punjab, discuss my new series and understand from them what they thought about it. The series is such that people across the globe will relate to it so I sincerely hope that more and more people watch United Kacche as it is sure to entertain and strike a chord”
