Ekta Kapoor is all set to churn out a new show Kuch Is Tarah for Sony TV. The primetime daily show will have Ekta's blue-eyed boy Akashdeep Sehgal in a never-seen-before avtar as the main lead opposite a fresh face. Kuch Is Tarah is touted to be a passionate love story with a dramatic twist to it and will have a Punjabi family set up. Akashdeep Sehgal will be seen.
Creative Head of Balaji Television shows for Sony, Prashant Bhatt confirms that Ekta is indeed launching another show. He says, "It is a never-seen-before plot with very different look."
According to Bhatt, since people love to copy Balaji shows and take inspiration from them, this time around "we are coming up with something new for people to copy. Even Akashdeep's character is a never-seen-before character."
Ekta discovered her new heroine after auditioning girls all across the country. Finally she found her in Mumbai itself. Adds Bhatt, "Sudha Chandran will be playing a positive role, contrary to her negative image on television. She was extremely keen to do this role and she will be able to carry it off well."
Talking about her come-back to Balaji after Kahin Kissi Roz, Sudha says, "It's great to back with Balaji. It's like

coming back home. I took up this role as it's a different and meaty character. Mine is fun-loving Punjabi family in the show and I play Akashdeep's mother. It's a family drama with loads of twists and turns to watch out for."
Currently Akashdeep is doing Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Sudha is doing Jhalak Dikhhla Ja 2 and Kashmakash.
The shooting for the show has already begun and the show is likely to go on air by mid-November. The production house is working over-time to zero down on the look of the all the main protagonists.
The rest of the cast includes Jayati Bhatia (who plays the main lead, Dimple's mother), Rajendra Gupta, Tarana Raja, Sonia Sahai and Papia Sengupta.
