Pankaj Kapur says his show Office Office, a satirical look at the corruption in government offices, will stay evergreen as the issues it addressed still exist everywhere.
Kapur played common man Mussaddi Lal Tripathi in the show that aired in 2001 and was lauded for its projection of people's woes in government offices.
It is now among the classic shows that have made a comeback on television, which is falling back on older hits to fill the spot as shooting stays suspended on new ones due to the coronavirus led lockdown in the country.
Kapur said "Office Office" was one of his most popular shows and he is glad to see it return on TV.
It is delightful that one of your shows that was extremely popular and did very well with the audiences by creating social awareness through humour, is back on television. Whatever entertainment it can provide to people in such times, I think that's wonderful, Kapur told PTI in an interview.
For Kapur, the show is special because of its theme and the experience he had while working on it.
It has always had a soft spot in my heart because we had wonderful time working for about four and four-and-half years on this project. The show created social awareness with humour, which is its asset. It'll stay evergreen for years to come because the problems that it talked about are there everywhere. We can talk about it for years."
