Star Gold to present World Television Premiere of Jayeshbhai Jordaar, featuring Ranveer Singh and Shalini Pandey

Shalini Pandey, who plays his wife in the film, is delighted about the world television premiere of her first Hindi film. “Many people wondered why I chose to play a pregnant woman in my Bollywood debut, but I really liked my character, Mudra Patel. She is Jayesh’s wife. She is strong enough to stand up against the patriarchal society to keep her baby girl alive. I hope TV viewers enjoy it when it premieres on August 28 at noon on Star Gold,” she said.

“Jayeshbhai Jordaar is a hilarious satire on society’s obsession with the male child, delivered in the form of a family entertainer with a riot of emotions. Ranveer Singh is a marvellous artist who has displayed his virtuoso range in this movie. He is accompanied by Shalini – fresh new talent – in a movie helmed by Divyang – a debutant director. Hope TV viewers enjoy this joyous ride when it premieres on August 28th at noon on Star Gold,” says the film’s producer Maneesh Sharma.

“After finishing my story outline for Jayeshbhai Jordaar, I took a road trip through various villages, B-towns, and metros across our country. The trip was an endeavour to understand how patriarchy currently affects us at an individual level. I held conversations with various children, women, and men, and I’m deeply grateful to them for sharing their struggles and pouring their hearts out to an absolute stranger. Many of these people and places did not have access to movie theatres. With the exponential reach of the TV medium, I’m glad the film will find a way back to where it came from,” says debutant director Divyang Thakkar.

He adds, “I couldn’t have asked for a better setup to make my directorial debut. Starting with my producer and mentor, Maneesh Sharma, who backed me every step of the way, to the film’s wonderful cast – Ratna Pathak Shah, Boman Irani, Shalini Pandey, and none other than Ranveer Singh, who gave it his all to bring Jayesh to life. I’m grateful for all the love and discussions that have sparked after the OTT release, and I’m now excited for the families of our country at large to be entertained by ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ on Aug 28 at noon on Star Gold.”

Yash Raj Films’ Jayeshbhai Jordaar, tackles female foeticide in a very unusual and impactful manner and has the film’s lead actor Ranveer Singh (Jayesh Patel) playing a caring husband and father fighting for his girl child.

Directed by Divyang Thakkar, Jayeshbhai Jordaar will have its World TV Premiere on Star Gold on Aug 28 at 12 PM.
