The premiere of Paritosh Painter’s latest theatrical comedy Tom and Jerry turned into a glittering entertainment night as television and film celebrities gathered at St. Andrew’s Auditorium in Bandra, Mumbai, on May 10, 2026. The event brought together laughter, nostalgia, and a strong dose of star power, making it one of the most talked-about theatre openings of the season.
The play, described as a “comedy of errors,” features a dynamic cast led by Aasif Sheikh, Shilpa Shinde, and Ali Asgar. The trio received strong applause from the audience and media at the premiere, with fans excited to see the popular television stars share the stage in a fresh theatrical avatar. The chemistry between the lead actors has already become a highlight of the production.
The red carpet was packed with well-known faces from the entertainment industry, turning the evening into a full-fledged celebration. Veteran actor Sachin Pilgaonkar attended the premiere, along with comedy favourites Kiku Sharda and Vishal Kotian. Filmmaker duo Abbas-Mustan also made a stylish appearance, adding to the glamour of the night. Popular television personalities like Delnaaz Irani, Tanaaz Irani, and Kishwer Merchant were also seen enjoying the event.
The creative team behind the play, including director Paritosh Painter and the production house Manasi Productions, were present to celebrate the successful launch. The atmosphere at the venue reflected excitement and appreciation for live theatre, with the cast and crew sharing smiles, interactions, and moments of celebration after the performance.
At the heart of Tom and Jerry lies a humorous yet chaotic storyline. The plot follows Aditya, a bachelor who casually lies to his traditional elder brother, Tom Bhaiyya, about being married. Things spiral out of control when Tom arrives unexpectedly, forcing Aditya to juggle identities and invent an entire fake family with the help of his friend Jerry. What follows is a fast-paced comedy filled with confusion, misunderstandings, and situational humour.
The ensemble cast also includes Vishnu Mehra, Pawan Singh, and Shweta Rohira, who add further layers of comedy and energy to the production. The play relies heavily on timing, character confusion, and witty dialogue, staying true to Paritosh Painter’s signature style of light-hearted entertainment.
With a strong response from the premiere night, Tom and Jerry is already generating buzz among theatre lovers for its relatable humour and entertaining performances. The combination of a star-studded cast and a classic comedy-of-errors storyline has made it one of the most promising stage productions of 2026.
