Vicky & Vetaal is a fun Indian TV show. It's a supernatural comedy sitcom that first aired on Disney Channel India. The show is a bit like the American series Phil of the Future.
Cinevistaas Limited produced the series. It started on October 7, 2006. This was Disney Channel India's first big original show. It was also Disney's first live-action show made in Hindi in India. Vicky & Vetaal was the first of five local shows planned by Disney. Other shows that followed included Dhoom Machaao Dhoom and Agadam Bagdam Tigdam.
The first season starred Dev Kantawala as Vicky and Vishal Malhotra as Vetaal. A second season of the show came out on Disney Channel on November 15, 2015. It featured a different cast.
The show gets its ideas from the Baital Pachisi stories. These are old tales about a king named Vikram and a Vetala. A Vetala is a huge, vampire-like creature.
