If Rakesh Bedi and Pierrot’s Troupe join hands what is most likely expected from them? A fabulous Comedy, of course. So Delhites are invited to de-stress themselves at Shri Ram Centre on March 3. They will enjoy Massage at the hands of Rakesh Bedi who, moreover, shall assume as many as 24 roles in doing so.
MASSAGE is the story of Happy Kumar, a young man, who comes to Mumbai to become --- Well! What else? A Hero. But as luck would have it, he lands up as the fourth assistant director with a film-maker – Kohli --- celebrated for his “C” grade ‘sex n snakes’ centered films.
He gets a peep into all the acute angles of Hindi Cinema – and much more -- by virtue of this job. So much so, he quits the film world to join a Ladies Gym as an instructor and soon turns out to be the most sought after instructor -- among ladies.
Happy Kumar becomes an independent masseur till he finds the love of his life. He continues his escapades with MASSAGE where he meets many people from different walks of life including a minister, his P.A. and a Goon
Originally written in Marathi by the great Indian Playwright Vijay Tendulkar, the play has been adapted into Hindi by Rakesh Bedi himself. It has been directed by Harbans Singh and the music rendered by Kuldip Singh.
