Confirming details about the project, producer Hemal Thakkar says, "Yes, we are working on a show with this title.

It's in its initial stages so we can't give a time frame as to when it will be on air."

When asked about the actors, he says, "A majority of the cast includes actors from Gujarati, Marathi and Hindi theatre.

We are working with a lot of actors who are new to the television medium."

Not ready to divulge details about the plot or whether it has any similarities with Kyunki, Thakkar adds, "It is going to be a family drama. I can't say anything beyond that right now."
