Giaa Maanek in Jeannie Aur Juju!

The last you saw of the sylph Jeannie was in a dubbed version of the popular American 80s show. Well, Sab TV has purchased the rights to I dream of Jeannie sticking mostly to the original content, created and produced by legendary author Sidney Sheldon, this will be an Indian adaptation. Sab TV will show a pilot setting free a Jeannie from two thousand years of imprisonment inside the proverbial bottle, and the two eventually falling in love.

Giaa Maanek known for having portrayed a very cute and lovable bahu and then a graceful dancer, she will now portray Jeannie, adorable in harem pants and shimmering outfits. Giaa plays a Jeannie who has

been caught in a bottle for 2000 years and then Vicky finds the bottle and frees her accidentally.

Jeannie thanks Vicky with whom she falls in love from the moment their eyes meet. What follows is a spur on incidences where Jeannie tries to charm her saviour and love of her life, Vicky, into falling in love with her. Putting Vicky into trouble, eventually getting him out of trouble and playing cute is what Jeannie does best.

It is an uncommon genre on Indian television and the audience will surely enjoy the novelty we are providing them. With Ali Asgar playing the pilot and Giaa Maanek playing Jeannie, the show promises to deliver a dish with delicious Indian flavours, charmingly funny and cute. So be prepared for Jeannie’s infectious charm and the magic tricks that she will play on you!
