Looking forward to the collaboration, veteran filmmaker Rohan Sippy says “I think sitcoms haven’t been adequately represented on OTT, especially when it comes to Indian content. The potpourri of diverse genres makes for interesting viewing, but sometimes, I as an audience, crave good light-hearted content, rooted in our country and culture, that can resonate with audiences worldwide. This association is a step in that direction.”

Pankaj Sudheer Mishra, who has spent most of his work life practicing the form of comedy and light-hearted entertainment content, quotes a renowned doctor, “If laughter cannot solve your problems, it will definitely dissolve your problems.” He continues by saying “together with Content Engineers and Rohan Sippy our endeavor is to create a wholesome, family entertainer that will certainly tickle the funny bone of our viewers.”

“The recent growth in content has opened a world of opportunities for disruptive content. We are exploring different genres as content creators. While as Content Engineers, we recently announced a biopic; through this association, we want to bring back the era of sitcoms like Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi or Dekh Bhai Dekh. Of course, the content would be set in today’s world and will cater to youth and family audiences.” asserts filmmaker Saurabh Varma, Chief Creative Officer, Content Engineers.

Utpaal Acharya, the CEO of Content Engineers, admits that they have found perfect partners in Rohan Sippy and TEAM, “Rohan has proved his mettle time and again with some fine work in both the formats (Feature film and series).
