Rohit Sharma is set to enter a new space away from the cricket field, with the former India captain making his entertainment debut with an upcoming show
on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV.
Sony Pictures Networks India announced the project with a quirky teaser centred around Sharma's viral "Koi bhi garden mein nahi ghumega" remark. While the promo has already generated plenty of curiosity among fans, Sony is yet to reveal the show's exact format or its premiere date.
What is Rohit Sharma's new Sony show about?
Sony has not officially revealed the complete concept of the programme yet.
The teaser presents Sharma in an entertainment setting, with the former India captain interacting with the production team and fans while references to his viral "garden" remark provide the central theme.
The promo appears to suggest that the show will have a light-hearted and entertainment-driven format, although details about whether it will be a talk show, game show or another type of programme have not been confirmed.
Sharma's role also appears to go beyond that of a conventional celebrity guest, with Sony positioning him as the central face of the new project.
Why is 'Koi bhi garden mein nahi ghumega' back in the spotlight?
The teaser's biggest hook is Sharma's now-famous "Koi bhi garden mein nahi ghumega" line.
The remark, originally made during a cricket match, became a popular meme and social media catchphrase among fans. Sony has now used the viral moment as the starting point for its promotional campaign.
In the teaser, fans repeatedly ask Sharma to recreate the famous line, turning the situation into a running joke.
Sharma eventually acknowledges how far the remark has travelled.
"Do line kya bol di, itna viral ho gaya. Jab mera poora show aayega toh kya hoga?" he says in the promo.
The line effectively serves as the teaser's punchline while also confirming that Sharma has a much bigger entertainment project in the works.
When will Rohit Sharma's show go live?
Sony has not announced a premiere date yet.
The teaser only states that the show is "coming soon", with no confirmed date or time for its first episode.
The programme is expected to be available across Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV, meaning viewers will be able to watch it through both the television network and the streaming platform.
Sony is expected to reveal further details about the format and launch date in a subsequent announcement.
Where can you watch Rohit Sharma's show?
The upcoming show will be available on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV.
The dual television and streaming release gives Sharma's entertainment debut access to both Sony's traditional television audience and its digital viewers.
For now, however, the network is keeping most details under wraps.
Rohit Sharma's move beyond cricket
The project marks an interesting new chapter for Sharma, who has spent almost his entire public life in cricket.
The former India captain has already entered a new phase of his career following his retirement from T20I and Test cricket, while remaining involved in the ODI setup.
His Sony project allows fans to see him outside the familiar environment of press conferences, dressing rooms and cricket grounds.
Sharma has also developed a reputation for his candid and often humorous personality, something the teaser appears keen to capitalise on.
The "garden" reference gives Sony an instantly recognisable hook, while Sharma's involvement provides the programme with a ready-made audience.
For now, Sony has revealed just enough to generate curiosity without giving away what the programme actually is. The format, episode structure and premiere date are expected to be announced in the coming days.
