Produced by Yoodlee Films and directed by Manav Shah, United Kacche is the story of Tejinder ‘Tango’ Gill (played by Sunil Grover) from Punjab who aspires to migrate to a foreign land where the grass is greener. He inherited this dream from his late father and grandfather as they too wished to settle abroad for a better life. Tango somehow manages to arrange for a tourist visa for the United Kingdom and takes off without planning much for the future. Very soon, his visa will expire, and he will be considered an illegal immigrant marking the beginning of the real struggle of living abroad!

United Kacche highlights the living conditions of many such Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi citizens who are not permanent residents of England and are thus known as Kacche. They settle abroad as illegal immigrants without legitimate paperwork, living a hand-to-mouth life on daily wages while constantly hiding from the authorities. The show brings out their dreams and desires versus the reality of living abroad in a humorous and entertaining manner.
Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 India shared, “We are happy to announce United Kachche in partnership with Yoodlee films, starring Sunil Grover for yet another power-packed performance, post the success of Sunflower.
