Star One seems to be heavily inspired by its big bro, the big screen. And Main Hoon Na seems to be everyone's favourite.
More NewsThe 'Remix': ready to rock and roll! | First, Rakshanda Khan did a take on Sushmita's role in the movie in Star One's Happy go Lucky and now in three weeks' time, a qawaali, quite like the one in the Farah Khan movie, will be seen in Remix.
As the qawaali is being shot in the Tantra lounge in suburban Mumbai, there is an atmosphere of gaiety all around as the floor is taken over by clapping and yelling teenagers.
"This is a teen show, but it is not merely that. There is an undercurrent of seriousness that I wish somebody would understand," says Shrishti Behl Arya, the producer of the show.

Mike in hand they look like rockstars!
| The show seems to have taken up quite a few issues that are a part and parcel of modern day living --- a sense of alienation, a need for freedom, often the feeling of neglect and an overpowering need to belong. These are all sentiments that have been part of our lives at one time or the other, the more the show grows in stature, more the undercurrents become evident.

Karan and Shweta: great going!

The band that the four lead characters have formed, Remix, seems to symbolize this sense of rebellion that is so much a part of growing up!
"Naa koi tension lena...," seems to be a track that has taken the teenagers by storm. This song and perhaps the others as well has taken on a cult status in the country...not to forget the lingo!
"It is the coolest show on air. We eat, sleep and breathe Remix. As far as I am concerned, I never plan my future and I am happy doing Remix....its fun!" says Priya Wal, who plays Anvesha.
The qawwali is being shot in red with cool caps and heavy accessories. The set is lit up brightly, and the foursome practice their steps as the choreographer gives them instructions.The cast seems to share an excellent chemistry on screen that transforms on screen as well. Let's get to know this foursome better...
| Priya was the last to be roped in for the show.When she saw how the show was turning out she supposedly said, "I won't do it!" But Shrishti believes that Priya plays herself in the show. Priya lives with two of her friends who are also part of the show. Priya, once cooked on the roadside when her gas ran out. | | His character is the truest to life. He is a rebel without a cause. He is angry with everyone around him. He reveals that he is now enjoying the romantic track that is now on air. "It's sweet," he says. For those who don't know whats happening on the show, just tune in and you will find that the guy has lost his memory! | | She is the 'lady' of the group.She exclaims in horror when Shrishti suggests that she wear jeans reather than her trademark dresses. "I am happy with what I am wearing!" she says. She was teh first to be taken on board and the oroducer admits that she has a neice who talks like Tia. | | He is the kid of the show, but that does not prevent him from being very concerned about his looks.He seemed obsessesd to get his hair right throughout the shoot! So much so that the choreographer had to remind hima that they were only rehearsing. Karan scores heavily on his looks and it seems that the guy will go far, if he keeps up the good work! | Pics by Vicky Ahuja
