MUMBAI: After signing television & film actor Aman Verma, Reliance Broadcast Network’s BIG Magic has signed on actor-comedian-anchor Ali Asgar for a humourous character in Darz Kiya Hai.

Ali will regale viewers as Inspector Mishra in Darz Kiya Hain.

The show attempts to bring about a social change through its satire, conveyed in a ‘shaiyarana’ andaaz through Ali, a failed ‘shayar’ in the body of an inspector!

Asgar said, "It’s an exciting new venture for me; I have never done something like this before. Abhinav Mishra, the inspector-poet that I am playing in Darz Kiya Hai is a very unique. It’s not going to be easy playing the character as he is going to be original and someone I wish to imitate. I am sure people will love the language, the "shud heartland Hindi", which will relate with the masses here. I am really looking forward to this one."

BIG Magic business head Sunil Kumaran said, "The concept is simple, of ‘a shayar’ in the body of an inspector, who brings out a unique style of the character through humorous situations. Ali Asgar is one of the most talented & brilliant actors of both small & big screen and his ability to morph in to a character is something we are sure will make Abhinav Mishra so endearing to the audiences. We are sure that he will resonate with the Hindi heartland."
