Om Puri to host Crime Control

This fiction show will be aired on Doordarshan
Indian television has been flooded with crime based
shows. While we already have Crime Patrol,
Savdhaan India, Gumrah and MTV Webbed on the
telly tube, veteran actor Om Puri will soon be a part of
another crime based show on Doordarshan.
The Hera Pheri actor was last seen in Govind
Nihalani’s TV show Tamas. Now he’s back on
television with a non-fiction crime show. Confirming
the news Om said, “Yes, I will be hosting the show
which touches on security concerns and how people
can be better prepared.” The show is called Crime
Control and deals with both fictional and non-
fictional crime incidents. Puri further added, “The
show will focus on such day-to-day life stories which
could alert the viewers and tell them how they can
take care of themselves in a better way.”
The Maqbool actor said that since he has never
ventured into this genre and he is exited to
experiment with the show. We hope it brings
something different to the table than others that are
already on air.
