The Bachelors series takes spoof comedy to the next level and when we narrated Season 3 to infinix, it was a snug fit with the way they’re positioning the brand. The partnership became a wider one with TVF also activating some of its other marquee spoofs like Rabish Ki Report and Saavdhan Patrol on The Screen Patti,” said Vijay Koshy, President, TVF.
