In an interesting piece of news for fans, Sony, on Tuesday, unveiled that their hit series ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ will soon be available for audiences to watch in an animated series format.

Promo videos of the show were shared on Instagram by Sony YAY that featured the animated avatars of Tapu, Jethalal, Daya Ben, Babuji, and more characters from the show. The caption read, “VSuper exciting news!! Here is the first exclusive look of the promo @sonyyay @sonysab @taarakmehtakaooltahchashmahnfp #Tapu #Jethaalal #Daya #Bapuji.”

The comedy show which has been on the air for 12 years showcases the residents of Gokuldham Society up to their usual antics. While Jethalal Gada tries to discipline Tapu, his wife Daya can be seen in the same sassy, laughing, always happy avatar. The promo also shows the character of Babuji who is still disappointed in his son and no amount of scolding will set him straight.

For the uninformed, Dilip Joshi aka Jethalal Gada, earlier, while speaking to stand-up comedian Sorabh Pant in a special podcast, had said that he feels that ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chahmah’ writing has suffered with time. He said that certain episodes were “not up to the mark as far as the humour is concerned”.

Dilip had said, “Jab aap quantity dekhte hai, toh kahin na kahin quality suffer hoti hi hai. Pehle weekly hum karte the aur writers ke paas bohot time hota tha. Chaar episode likhe, doosre chaar episode agle mahine shoot karna hai (When you focus on quantity, the quality does suffer somewhere. Initially, it was a weekly show and the writers had a lot of time. With four episodes being shot per month, they had a gap of a month to write the next four episodes).”
