Lever is all set to make his television debut
with Sab TV's comedy show Partners'. It will
also star Kiku Sharda and Vishal Kotian in
pivotal roles. Jonny has done almost 400
films in 80s and 90s but has never tried his
hand at television. He had done a reality
show on Zee TV Jonny Aala Re' 10 years
back. He had also appeared as a judge on
Comedy Circus but this will be the first time
when he will be doing a fictional show.
The comedy show Partners' will have Johny
playing a double role. He will be seen playing
a police commissioner and his own
informer on the show. Kiku and Vishal will
play his cop buddies. One of them is a body
builder while the other is tactically oriented.
The show is been produced by Paritosh
Painter. It will begin airing from next month
on Sab TV and will take Chidiyaghar's slot.
Partners also marks Kiku Sharda's return to
the fictional space. He has done shows like
FIR, Bhootwala Serial and Kasturi in the past
but ever since he joined Kapil Sharma's
team, he was only seen doing reality shows.
Jonny hails from Tamil Nadu and started his
career with Dard Ka Rishta in 1980 with
Sunil Dutt. He appeared in a lot of films after
that but he got his big break with Shah
Rukh Khan's Baazigar. The film established
him as an ace comedian. He ended up
featuring in almost all the films of 90s. Chota
Chattri, Aslam Bha are some of his
memorable roles. His Abba Jabba Dabba act
from Sri Devi-Anil Kapoor starrer is still
remembered.
He might not be seen in many films these
days but his daughter Jammie is surely
taking her father's legacy forward with her
TV shows.
