Netflix India is celebrating Teachers’ Day with a hilarious new video starring popular YouTuber Mahesh Keshwala aka Thugesh along with “fellow bunkers” Shashank Shreyy and Sahil Kadam. Produced by ASK Films, a NEWJ venture, the video – titled ‘Mass Bunk’ is a throwback to all the mischief, madness and first-time loves from the classroom.

From Thugesh’s first crush on a teacher to Sahil’s bunking tales, the video is filled with stories involving pranks, fun and bunks from the stars’ past. A nostalgic roller-coaster ride full of bittersweet throwbacks, the video – now out on Netflix India’s official YouTube channel – is a tribute to the best days of one’s life when fun often took precedence over the classroom.

Talking about partnering with Netflix for the video, Kunal Chaudhary, co-founder of ASK Films and NEWJ, said, “This collaboration with Netflix India is in sync with our goal of bringing credible entertainment to every nook and cranny of the country. At ASK Films we constantly aim to harness the power of storytelling and filmmaking to create content that resonates with today’s audience, and Netflix India’s YouTube platform is the perfect avenue for such engaging content.”

Commenting on the process of creating the video, Shantanu Anam, Head of Content at ASK Films, said, “Working with Thugesh and Netflix was a delightful journey, we got to hear nostalgic school stories and reminisce about teachers who we loved though our school and college years. We worked very hard to bring this video to life and hopefully the audience will love it as much as we do.”
