‘Badman and Breaking Bad’ – A jodi that was made for each other!

~ With Breaking Bad coming in Hindi for the very first time on Zee Café, the channel casted Badman Gulshan Grover as Hector Salamanca for its new promo

Zee Café created waves amongst TV loyalists with its mega announcement that it is bringing Breaking Bad to TV for the first time in Hindi. After the ‘Baap of all Shows’ was announced with an interesting promo that gave a desi twist to the lead character – Heisenberg, Badman Gulshan got riled up that he wasn’t considered to be a part of it. In a leaked video that went viral on social media, he was seen angrily asking his team to find out the location of the studio where they were dubbing for the show as he was having FOMO of not being a part of it. In fact, after finding out the location, he even barged into the shoot and asked the team – “Breaking Bad in Hindi without Badman – kaise?” He even tried to compel the director to cast him, but what happened next will leave you all stunned.
In a marketing masterstroke, Zee Café brought on board India’s OG Badman – Gulshan Grover – for a special promo to promote Breaking Bad airing in Hindi for the first time on the channel. While the channel was excited to have him on board, they did face a dilemma due to the unavailability of roles. But finally, after much deliberation, the team cast the legendary Gulshan Grover in the character of Hector Salmanca for the promo giving fans a chance to see him in a new avatar. With this new promo, they also finally revealed the date of airing for all fans. Yes, Breaking Bad is premiering on 28th August and will air every weekday at 10 pm, only on Zee Café.

Apart from the premiere date, the promo also generates a lot of excitement for the show, especially with Gulshan Grover struggling to showcase his emotions. Why is that tough? Well, he can’t speak or move in the promo! Yes, you heard it right! You see Gulshan struggling to emote out his feelings as he plays the role of a paralyzed drug lord – Hector Salamanca and in the promo, he struggles to express what he wants to say by just ringing the bell placed on his wheelchair. But, as we all know, Badman never gives up! His hilarious attempts will truly entertain audiences and get them excited to see Breaking Bad in Hindi on Zee Café.

Speaking about his association with Zee Café, Gulshan Grover said, “There are a few shows that are remembered and watched across generations and Breaking Bad is one of them; it is a benchmark in TV shows and arguably the best TV show of all times. Since the first time I watched this show, I wished they would remake it in Hindi, and I could also star in it. While that didn’t happen, when I heard Zee Café is finally bringing the show with Hindi dubbing, I knew I had to be a part of it in some way. They approached me for this special promo, and I had a wonderful time shooting for it. It’s a fun promo and I am sure the audience will also enjoy watching it as much as I did making it! I have said some of Walter’s most iconic lines in it in my own way and the whole experience got me excited all over again to watch this superb show! I am just waiting to watch it along with the Hindi dub on Zee Cafe from 28th August, every weekday at 10 pm.”
