From cricketer to host: Shikhar Dhawan’s ‘Dhawan Karenge’ launches on JioCinema

Ace cricketer Shikhar Dhawan is set to explore new horizons with his hosting debut on the chat show ‘Dhawan Karenge’, premiering on JioCinema Premium on May 20th. Available through premium plans starting at Rs. 29 per month, ‘Dhawan Karenge’ will feature Dhawan in a fresh role, engaging in unfiltered conversations and fun game segments with notable guests such as Akshay Kumar, Harbhajan Singh, Taapsee Pannu, Bhuvan Bam, and Rishabh Pant. The show is curated and produced by One Digital Entertainment.

Dhawan, the 38-year-old opening batsman and captain of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the current IPL 2024 season, has been unable to participate in much of the tournament due to an injury.

The newly released promo provides an intriguing preview of the show’s format, which includes exploring the lives of Bollywood stars, revealing behind-the-scenes stories from cricket legends and content creators, and featuring interactive segments such as shayari banters and playful recreations of Dhawan's iconic poses. In each episode, Dhawan and his guests will take viewers on a nostalgic journey, sharing heartfelt stories, candid confessions, and entertaining gossip. This mix of entertainment and nostalgia promises to captivate the audience.



Expressing his enthusiasm for his new role as a host, Dhawan stated, "It's not just about entertainment; it's a personal connection with my fans, a chance to unveil facets previously unseen and foster genuine connections. Each episode will unfold like a fresh inning, with its narrative and ambience, eagerly awaiting to be shared with our viewers! I'm thrilled to collaborate with One Digital Entertainment and Jio Cinema in bringing this vision to life."mium, available at Rs. 29/month.
