KARACHI: The Geo News’ satiricial show “Khabarnaak” got a groundbreaking honour by setting one-man show’s innovative record. In “Khabarnaak”, host Ali Mir will not don two, five or ten avatars; instead, he is going to don 50 different appearances for this show. Viewers will be able to watch this memorable show on Geo News at 11:05pm tonight.

By donning 50 different looks in the same show, Ali Mir has set a new record in the history of the television industry. It is for the first time that any artist has donned so many different looks for a single programme. In the show, the future of democracy and problems in the way of upcoming general elections will be discussed in a “Grand Debate” segment, using dummies of prominent political personalities. There will be one person, one show with 50 different looks and performing 12 characters.

“Khabarnaak” has earned a name for itself by creating awareness among the people about various social and political issues by using humour and satire. The show has shed a light on several attention-worthy topics and brought a smile on the faces of people by using humour as its core value. It has set such high benchmarks that today everyone, including children, women and men, eagerly waits to watch this show.

The central character of Ali Mir in “Khabarnaak” is the main highlight. His comedic dialogue delivery, ability to mimic politicians and quirky conversations have made many his admirers.

Various other artistes, present in the show, also perform well. It is because of their jokes that the audience cannot stop laughing. Ayesha Jahanzeb’s hosting technique is also quite laudable. There are many who admire Ayesha for her brilliant work. This team’s collective effort has brought the programme a number of international awards and laurels.

In the prevailing political situation, the team has organised this “Grand Debate” segment. In the show, which will primarily focus on the future of democracy and problems in the way of upcoming general elections, Ali Mir will appear in 50 different appearances. Not only this, but Ali Mir will also present 12 different characters, including Nawaz Sharif, Imran Khan, Asif Ali Zardari, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Asfandyar Wali, Chaudhry Nisar and Rehman Malik.

It is important to mention that this is a trendsetting show and the first of its kind in Pakistan’s television industry’s history. Such a show has never been performed in Pakistan before where one person plays 12 characters and dons 50 different looks. With quirky conversations, jibes and a rush of laughter, “Khabarnaak” will broadcast tonight at 11:05pm only on Geo News.
