While specific details about the upcoming project remain tightly under wraps, Sony Pictures Networks recently released an exciting teaser that sent fans into a frenzy. The short promo features Sharma interacting with enthusiastic fans who repeatedly urge him to say his now-viral one-liner about nobody roaming in the garden. The humorous clip shows the cricketer getting progressively annoyed by the constant demands before walking off, hinting at a fun, highly entertaining concept for his new venture.
The announcement of Rohit Sharma's television debut was made alongside the grand unveiling of Sony Pictures Networks India's massive festive season content slate. The network is bringing out the big guns this year, combining fresh concepts with some of its most iconic and beloved television franchises. Leading the charge is the highly awaited eighteenth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, which continues its legacy of celebrating knowledge and aspiration under the new campaign theme that emphasizes the power of thought.
In another major television comeback, Bollywood powerhouse Ajay Devgn is set to host a brand new iteration of the true-crime series Crime Patrol. The 2026 edition of the show promises to bring extraordinary and gripping real-life criminal cases to the audience, elevated by Devgn's intense persona and the show's signature dramatic storytelling. Adding a lighter touch to the network's lineup, popular comedians Bharti Singh and Harssh Limbachiyaa will host the Indian Game Show, an energetic program that challenges celebrities with a series of entertaining and physical tasks.
Sony is also expanding its regional and streaming footprints with major star power. Bollywood icon Madhuri Dixit is stepping in to host Kon Honar Crorepati, bringing her unmatched charm and fresh energy to the Marathi version of the legendary game show format. Meanwhile, for the Tamil audience, Sony LIV has roped in Samantha Ruth Prabhu to front MasterChef Tamil. Music maestro AR Rahman is also joining the regional slate to lead Tamil Idol, marking the first Tamil adaptation of the globally recognized singing competition.
On the digital front, National Award-winning director Hansal Mehta will bring Scam 2010 to Sony LIV, a new series chronicling the dramatic rise and fall of a massive financial empire. Gaurav Banerjee, the Managing Director and CEO of Sony Pictures Networks India, noted that this expansive lineup is designed to cater to modern Indian audiences who consume entertainment freely across different languages, genres, and screens.
