Hungama Play, a leading video on demand platform owned by Hungama Digital Media, today launched 'Sanam Hotline', a new Hungama Original in Marathi and Hindi. A comedy, the show revolves around three call centre executives who run an adult hotline and an unfortunate misadventure that gets them involved with an extortion racket turning their lives upside down. The cast of the show is headlined by popular actors from the Marathi entertainment industry, including Pushkar Jog, Sai Lokur, Uday Nene and Vinay Yedekar. Produced by CafeMarathi Studios, the show is directed by Akash Gursale and is now available to stream on Hungama Play and its partner networks.

Recently fired from their mundane jobs at a call centre, Ishaan (Pushkar Jog) and his friend Abhijeet (Uday Nene), decide to do something exciting with their lives and start an adult hotline. Called Sanam Hotline, the sole aim of this service is to fulfil its customers' fantasies and desires telephonically. Shivani (Sai Lokur), their colleague and Ishaan's love, joins their little start-up too. Together they tackle the assortment of customers, from those seeking companionship to those who just want quick fun; their tiny company begins to succeed. Until the day, some of their customers begin to get extortion calls. Then begins a roller-coaster ride that turns the trio's lives into a comical mess. A kidnapping gone wrong, an extortion racket targeting Sanam Hotline's customers and a Police Inspector who will not rest until he arrests Ishaan and Abhijeet, this hotline is certainly entertainment guaranteed!
