Theviralfever.com promises to have you in splits!
A group of IITians from Mumbai and Kharagpur has launched India's first online tv channel Theviralfever.com.
After researching at various colleges across the country, the channel was started by Anurabh Kumar, 29, and his friends Himanshu Bhatnagar, Sandeep Jha, Deepak Mishra, Amit Golani, Biswapathi Sarkar, Vipin Goel and Jyotirmoy Dutta.
Viralfever promises to have you in splits with spoofs of popular reality shows, TV serials and films. Kumar, who worked briefly with Red Chillies Entertainment, had scripted a pilot for a series on the lines of American shows like Friends and Seinfeld. But there weren't any takers.
"We decided to blend our two powerful skills- creativity and tech expertise-to create an exciting entertainment space," he says.
The programming is divided into two sections: TV originals, which spoofs TV shows, and youth idea lab, airing students working in remote villages. Also on the cards are shows like Penis Monologues and Jha.One, a spoof on Ra.One.
