With the web series Taaza Khabar, Deven Bhojani, who is best known for his comic characters, is set to make his OTT debut. Along with appearing in movies like Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, Andaz, Khichdi: The Movie, and Agneepath, Bhojani also appeared in television shows like Malgudi Days, Dekh Bhai Dekh, Shrimaaan Shrimati, Sarabhai Vs. Sarabhai, Wagle Ki Duniya, and many others.

While speaking to OTTplay about his character and what he looks for in a character he says yes to play, Deven said, "I frequently portray comic roles, but I also think of myself as a versatile actor, and I'm constantly on the lookout for good opportunities to show my capabilities. Similar to how I always look forward to playing various roles and Taaza Khabar gave me the chance to do so in a situation where my character Mehboob Bhai isn't particularly humorous or didn't have any funny lines."

Talking more about his character in the show, Deven said, "This character is significant, serious, and somewhat emotional. A father who will do anything for his daughter, even if it's wrong. The character has many layers, and this is what I find so endearing about it."

The show stars Bhuvan Bam, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Deven Bhojani and Prathamesh Parab in pivotal roles.

Taaza Khabar, a Hotstar Specials series, is a drama, action, comedy, and romance roller coaster. The show is a contemporary story that exposes the advantages and disadvantages of miracles. The series, which was produced by Rohit Raj and Bhuvan Bam under the name BB Ki Vines Productions, will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on January 6, 2023. It is directed by Himank Gaur and written by Hussain & Abbas Dalal.
