Biswa Kalyan Rath will return to Amazon Prime Video with his new stand-up comedy special, Sushi, on 25 October. According to the trailer, the programme will be "a carefully assorted platter of raw and delicate jokes, skillfully assembled with great care and precision from thinly sliced observations caught from the sea of existence of humanity on planet Earth that leaves your soul feeling."

The trailer shows the comedian share his opinions on Indian footpaths and how they are inconvenient for pedestrians. He hilariously demonstrates the discomfort of two people sharing the same, crowded footpath. He goes onto comment on the rampant corruption in India as compared to other countries. He points out that anywhere else in the world, governments teach their employees not to accept bribes, but in India it is not the case.
