If there is one comedy show which became extremely popular in short notice- it is Jabardasth hosted by ETV. Most of the comedians struck gold in Tollywood by featuring in it and even the anchors namely Anasuya and Rashmi became quite popular in big screen as well.
But the show was also a victim of criticism for its jokes which crossed the line and things became even more serious when a lawyer named Arun Kumar filed a petition against the show members about a particular episode.
This episode was alleged to be demeaning towards Law profession and also the Hindu holy text Bhagawad Gita. Arun Kumar sent notices to anchors Rashmi, Anasuya, judges Nagendra Babu, Roja and programme producers Shyamsundar Reddy as well asking them to attend the court hearing in Huzurabad, Karimagar district.
The Jabardasth comedians namely Paccha Madhu, Chammak Chandra, Rocket Ragahva, Shaking Seshu, Nageswhar Rao and Phani attended the court hearing. The enquiry has been postponed to June 30th for this case.
It is indeed unfortunate that such a popular show has become a victim of legal troubles now.
