If you are a Friends fan, you know that 27th May is a special day. The sole reason for this is, Friends Reunion is happening today in India. We remember the show as one of the funniest shows of its time and is a megahit even today for its warm, unique, and relatable characters. The show is truly timeless and that’s one of the reasons, why we still continue to watch it in the background and don’t mind the repetition.
According to Variety, the actors were paid $2.5 million for their participation in the ‘Friends
Reunion’. Due to the pandemic, the shooting of this reunion special episode was delayed several times. Apart from the original cast members, ‘Friends Reunion’ also starred popular celebrities such as David Beckham, BTS, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Reese Witherspoon, Malala Yousafzai, Mindy Kaling and Kit Harington also made an appearance on the show. Ben Winston has called the shots for this special.
Talking about the release of Friends: The Reunion in India, Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer of ZEE5, said in a statement, “We received an overwhelming response from the audience after recently announcing that FRIENDS: THE REUNION special will stream exclusively on ZEE5 in India. We are proud to share that we will bring this event to India along with the world on May 27 at 12.32 pm! We expect high demand from users and would urge them to avail FRIENDS: THE REUNION Special unlimited viewing offer at least 12 hours in advance before the launch for a seamless experience. We are all geared up to make this a resounding success in India along with the rest of the world.”
