Shakti Kapoor, Ranjeet and Gulshan Grover — three Bollywood actors who have played iconic villains on the big screen — will now be seen on Comedy Nights Bachao.

As is the concept of the insult comedy show, or ‘roasts’, the three villains will be at the receiving end of jabs and jokes at the hands of other actors and comedians.

While Grover has been creating waves through his roles in Indian and international films, Kapoor and Ranjeet have been out of the limelight for a few years.

On Comedy Nights Bachao, the tables will be turned as the famous villains say the word that is often associated with their victims — “Bachao” (help) said a statement from Colors channel, where the show will be aired starting from September 5.

Produced by Optimystix, the show will bring together celebrity guests who be will be the butt of tongue-in-cheek jokes poking fun at their personal lives and public image.

The roasts will be served by comic crusaders teamed together as five groups — Krushna Abhishek, Sudesh Lahiri and Sara Khan; Bharti Singh, Karan Wahi and Pritam Singh; Anita Hassanandani and Mubeen; Shruti Seth and Shakeel Siddiqui; and Pooja Bose and Naseem Vicky.
