Audiences lap up mature romances
The winds of change that started blowing over Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Kuch To Log Kahenge six months ago seem to be turning into quite a gale in 2012, with most channels looking at exploring mature love stories in-depth. After the launch of Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha on Colors a fortnight ago, Zee will exploit the genre with Punar Vivaah next month. As the title suggests, the story will deal with the dynamics of a remarriage between a divorcee and widower. Kratika Sengar, who played the warrior queen, Rani Laxmibai in Jhansi Ki Rani, will play the single mother, Smriti and Gurmeet Chaudhary as Siddharth, will be seen as the widower with a child. Punar Vivaah is produced by writers-turned-producers, Shashi and Sumeet Mittal of the Diya Aur Baati Hum fame.
