Mumbai, Feb 3 || Creator Sudip Sharma has opened up about incorporating meme references into the narrative of the upcoming season of “Kohrra”, saying that humour is an intrinsic part of Punjab’s culture and naturally finds its way even into the most intense and serious storytelling.
Talking about sprinkling comedy in a serious show like “Kohrra 2”, Sudip Sharma told: “It’s impossible not find comedy in Punjab. It’s just there everywhere; you just have to look around.”
“And, you know, we were just digging into what we see in Punjab in our research or whatever. Whenever you go, if you look around, there’s something funny going on. The Punjabi language and Punjabis as a community, they are just very funny. Even if it’s a very serious thing, it’s said in a very funny way... So, I tried to tap into that.”
The upcoming Netflix show weaves some popular memes into the crime thriller police procedural show.
Asked if it was a conscious choice to tap into the meme culture, Sudip Sharma said: “It was.”
