Lollu Sabha

Lollu Sabha is a 2003–2008 Indian Tamil-language comedy series written by Rambhala and starring Santhanam, Swaminathan, Lollu Sabha Manohar, Balaji, Jangiri Madhumitha. It was broadcast on STAR Vijay with 156 episodes. Each episode of the series was a spoof of a Tamil feature film and television show. Comedy actor Santhanam, Swaminathan, Manohar, Yogi Babu and Madhumitha are the leads of the show.

Development
In 2004, Rambhala pitched the idea of Lollu Sabha to the Star Vijay group's programming head Pradeep Milroy Peter, who approved for the show to be made. The concept was initially supposed to be a two-minute skit as a part of another show called Breakfast Show that Rambhala was working on, but the channel's head, Vijay Iyer, asked for 30-minute episodes to be made instead. The success of Lollu Sabha paved the way for a new era of comedy shows across Tamil channels.

Controversy
At the height of the show's success, Manohar, along with three other cast members, received mysterious parcel bombs. There was another controversy where the show's crew were forced to tender apology for parodying the film Pokkiri.
