5000 sq ft news channel set for Kituu...
SaharaOne's new primetime show Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai based on the tale of a simple mohalla girl who becomes the finest women in the competitive world of journalism, has erected a 5000 sq feet newsroom set to capture the essence and buzz of a news channel. The story will now focus on the lead protagonist Kituu's professional life as she takes up a job with a news channel named National News Network and the ups and downs at work front. The over one rupees crore newsroom set situated in Mumbai took 48 days to construct. Head of Programming (Fictions and Films), Kumud Choudhary says, "This is the first ever set of a newsroom to be created on television and it took us around 48 days to get the entire set up. The set was designed by Chokkas Bhardwaj and cost us over a crore of rupees. As most of the serial will be set at the Network office where Kituu works, it was very important to make it look authentic so that the audiences could get the feel of an actual newsroom." The set resembles a real news channel comprising news desks, reporting area, edit rooms, news anchoring studios etc which they have created after visiting various news channels in Mumbai and Delhi. Besides having a brand new office and job, Kituu has got a brand new look as well. She has shed her behnji look and gone in for contemporary fusion wear...
