| A splendid visit to Karol Bagh... | |
With the onset of various shows trying to do different things and things differently, the latest one on the telly tube is Zee TV's 12/24 Karol Bagh. The show, which, before its launch had a splendid set visit exclusively in Delhi saw all the actors, Producer and husband-wife duo Sudhir and Seema Sharma, Mr. Akash Chawla, the Marketing head of Zee along with Sukesh Motwani, the Creative head of Zee show up for the same. T alking of his decision to shift base in Delhi, Sudhir said, "It takes longer to travel within Mumbai but it hardly takes some three hours to reach Delhi. We were skeptical to shoot the entire show in Delhi first but finally went in for it. The profit here is that we'll get brand equity, respectability but on the other hand it takes a lot of guts. But we shot here because apart from the actors, even the rickshawallah will have the same accent. Just like the Sagars shoot in Vadodara, we plan to do it here and I'm sure there will be many people following suit after this. On the real sets we can maneuver it well. Real dikhaana is a tough task?.you are not making a Shyam Benegal movie. To create a psyche was a task." And just as we ask as to what's new in the show bang comes the reply from Akash, "We try portraying the changing trends in the country through our shows and characters. The show is relatable to all the Indian families. We shot in Karol Bagh to give it an authentic look; if there's no pulse of Karol Bagh in the show, we'll feel that we've failed. The cast which comprised senior actors like Banwari Taneja (Rajendra Sethi), Alka Amin (Manju Sethi) made for an amazing concoction with the young and fresh lot of Smriti Kalra who plays the role of Simi and was an RJ before stepping her toes into acting, Waseem Mushtaq (Anuj), Sargun Mehta (Neetu), Humar Halli (Mili) amongst others. |
