ZEE Theatre to bring Makarand Deshpande's acclaimed play 'Sir Sir Sarla' to Ahmedabad

ZEE Theatre, a special offering from the stable of the leading global content company ZEE Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., in its maiden Theatre Tour, brings classic Hindi play 'Sir Sir Sarla' to Ahmedabad. Directed by much-admired playwright Makarand Deshpande, the play features Sanjay Dhadhich, Aahana Kumra and Faisal Rasheed and Makarand in the lead roles. The play will be staged in the city on Sunday, January 21 at HK Hall.

Sir Sir Sarla talks about Love: the only subject that has no curriculum. An unfelt, untold story of a professor and his students after they have graduated - a play between memory and reality begins. Sarla's memory manifests itself into reality. Phanidhar and Sir are caught in a tornado of emotions.

Talking about the play, Makarand Deshpande comments, 'Sir Sir Sarla is a play which is very close to my heart. It's been over a decade and a half that I have been performing this play and I am glad that after so many years, we have got a chance to perform in front of a brand new audience in Ahmedabad as part of Zee Theatre Tour. It's a play that the audience will relate with, especially my character, who faces constant internal conflicts with his prudish self, like many of us. I hope people in Ahmedabad like the play.'

Zee Theatre Tour is a specially created and curated 4-month long tour that will travel to key cities in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, West Bengal and Rajasthan, staging 50 shows. Continuing with their promise to make Theatre accessible to audiences across the country, in its first step, ZEE Theatre is showcasing stage plays featuring Makarand Deshpande, Sunil Shanbag, Mahesh Dattani, Nitish Bhardwaj, Sonali Kulkarni and Milind Phatak among others. ZEE Live, a division of ZEE Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., which aims at creating memorable on-ground experiences for audiences is executing Zee Theatre Tour across the nation.

Adding to this, Anuj Talukder, President, Zee Live, says, 'Zee Live is committed to provide the purest form of Indian live entertainment to our audiences across the country and the world.
