Wasana: Shree deals with the supernatural

After saas-bahu sagas and soaps revolving around child artists it's now time for the supernatural elements to take centre stage. Actress Wasana Ahmed will play the lead in a soon to be launched show called Shree.



Shree is a beautiful love story of Shree and Hari. It is a unique combination of love and emotions along with a supernatural element. The story is about a negative power that revolves around Hari. Shree and Hari love each other but even at the time of their marriage and after their marriage too they face many problems due to this negative influence," explains Wasana.

Very excited about her character, Wasana says, "I am playing Shree, the daughter of a pujari who is a shiv bhakt. She is very innocent, cute but also gets scared of small things very easily. How she fights to get her love is what Shree is about."

The actress says she shares something in common with her on-screen character. "Both Shree and Wasana are darrpoks! One thing I can tell you for sure is that Wasana is very scared of lizards!" she laughs.

Wasana Ahmed was last seen in Balaji's Kasauti which still remains special to her. "Balaji is my second home and Kasauti Zindagi Kay was the first break given to me by Ektaji. I respect and admire her truly and she will always remain my idol."

Shree will commence from Monday at 10:30 pm on Zee TV.

    Supernatural love story on Zee, Shree..

    Shree, Hats Off's supernatural love story on Zee will kick-off on 22nd December at the 10.30 pm slot..

    A love story and a paranormal angle are being blended together to form a show like Shree on Zee TV. The creatives proclaim that Pavitra bandhan oar ashubh saya which amply substantiates the combination of two distinctively separate storyline in a seamless lattice.

    On the launch of the show, J. D Majethia, Producer, Hats Off Production said, "This is the first of its kind with a supernatural element in it."

    We asked him the reason for such a show with a different storyline. "We as producers also want to experiment, or else things become monotonous. People have also started accepting something different today, so I thought of experimenting," he adds further.

    Won't this show promote superstition about spirits in masses? "This will not evoke public, but will kick off the superstitious thoughts from their minds. I can only say that you will understand once you watch the show", avers JD.

    Can the show be termed as a horror story? "Not at all, we had to keep the thin line in mind between mystery and horror. Shree is a family drama which includes emotions, humor, love and mystery. There is an emotion like fear which is the super natural element, but not horror," states the Producer.

    J. D also feels that creating comedy is important, but one needs to experiment. "The day you stop experimenting, your growth in the industry will stop," he concludes.

    The star cast for the show includes new comers like Wasna Ahmed (Shree) and Pankaj Singh Tiwari (Hari). Hari is the ideal son-in-law for every Gujarati family looking for a prospective groom. But ever since his parents have started looking for a match for him, there have been 12 rejected proposals. The family tantrik infers that there is a presence of an ashubh saya on Hari that is preventing him from getting married and recommends looking for a daunting, brave girl who will be able to ward off the evil spirit; the spirit bent to foil all efforts of anyone trying to get married to Hari. Enter Shree, timid and an unassuming girl, the least likely person to ward off the ashubh saya, who is scared of her own shadow…

    Will Shree be able to stake her claim to Hari by defeating the paranormal forces? Let's see whether this show wins the heart of audience or horrifies them…

    The show is to be launched on 22 December from Monday to Thursday at 10:30 pm.

    When all got 'Spooky' for the writer...

    The writer of the show Shree had a weird experience when penning down a situation related to the spirit in the show...


    'Shree', Hats Off Productions' upcoming show on Zee, has already made it to the headlines for being a unique show with a love story intermixed with a supernatural element. And as per the title (Shree which suggests a 'Shubh Aarambh'), a havan was organized to set things rolling during the launch.

    However, Jayesh Patil, the writer of the show had a rather unusual experience while writing the script. "I have been working on this script for nearly 6 months now. But recently, I got such a weird feeling that I had to take a break from writing. And I went for a vacation of 20 days to the USA", quips Jayesh.

    "This happened when I was describing more about the character of Kalpana, the spirit in the show. I was penning down a particular situation and the manner in which she reacts. I got too engrossed in the story that I really felt that Kalpana existed near me", adds the writer.

    Jayesh immediately shared this weird experience with J.D. Majethia and opted for a break. "I told him everything and he immediately gave me the permission to take off from work and go out of the country", adds he.

    Ask him whether he now believes in supernatural powers, and he articulates, "I do love to believe it, but within the limits of entertainment".

    Wonder how the viewers will feel when they see the same spirit on screen??

    She just can't scream!
    Ranjib Mazumder
    Friday, December 26, 2008  23:59 IST

     


    You have to scream and run. That's what Wasna Ahmed just can't do. Well, she's part of a supernatural show, Shree, on Zee TV produced by JD Majethia and Wasna cannot scream the way the makers of the show want her to.

    As she is playing a rural character, she needs to run in a certain manner which again, she is finding it a tad too difficult.

    Says a unit member, "In certain scenes she needs to scream her lungs out. Moreover, her walking style is also a huge problem for the production house as it doesn't look like somebody from a village is walking. But, she is a good sport and always ready to learn. The production house is busy supervising her on both these departments and she is learning very fast."

    The story of Shree revolves around Hari, a typical Gujarati boy whose would-be marriage seems to have an evil spirit eyeing it and preventing it from happening. Enter Shree who will ward off the evil spirit. Wasna who plays the lead role of Shree, says, "Yes. It's been a little difficult for me to shout at the top of my voice. The reason being I am not used to screaming and it doesn't come to me very easily. But, I am
    giving my best effort and everyone on the sets will vouch for it."

    Though she is doing a supernatural show, Wasna in real life is quite scared of horror movies. "I always stay away from scary movies or shows. But I took the show because it's a very different and challenging role. In fact, the best so far in my career," Wasna ends.

    'Ashubh Saaya' starts haunting Shree already.

    The show is yet to begin but perhaps the ashubh saaya (unlucky shadow) that will be seen haunting Shree and Hari in the show has started affecting them already.



    Recently, the entire unit of Shree had to shoot for a Samuh Vivaah (group marriage) sequence in a temple at Vasai but they were forced to return due to some problems.

    A source tells us, "When the entire unit of the to be launched television daily Shree got down to start the shoot at Tungareshwar temple, located on the outskirts of Vasai, they had to pack their bags and return to Mumbai. The entire set has been shifted to Film City in Goregaon."

    "We were supposed to shoot for Samuh Vivaah meaning group marriage where we hundred people in all. As soon as we landed there, the priest and the police told us that we could not shoot there as this would obstruct and distract the devotees of the Tungareshwar God from seeking blessings as at 100, our number was large. Secondly the priest had some issues as they weren't fine the concept of Samuh Vivaah," informs lead actress Wasna Ahmed.

    The local authorities including the temple priest, police men and locals protested against the shoot. Due to this, the entire cast and crew was forced to pack up halfway and change their location from Tungareshwar to Film City.

    Considering the concept of the show, which deals with supernatural powers and occurences, we can't help but wonder whether this incident was also an example of the same?

    "Ho sakta hai…nahi aisa kucch bhi nahi tha, baat sirf itni si thi ki shooting ki vajah se bhakto ke aane jaane mein baadha aa rahi thi isliye pandit ji ne humein set shift karne ko kaha," signs off Wasna.

    Shree starts on Monday at 10 pm on Zee TV.

    Ketkie, the spirit in Zee's Shree..

    Ketkie who plays Nandini in Jassuben Jayantilal.. will play the spirit in Zee's Shree...


    Zee's supernatural show Shree, produced by Hats Off Production has garnered lot of praise in the initial weeks, courtesy the gripping story line with the right mix of family drama and suspense.

    According to the present track, there is a supernatural power that is coming in the way of the protagonist Hari aka Pankaj Tiwari's marriage. As love blossoms between Hari and Shree (Wasna Ahmed), the plot thickens on the identity of the spirit and the reason behind all this.

    The buzz doing rounds is that Ketkie who plays Nandini in Jassuben Jayantilal Ki Joint Family will be entering Shree, and the actress has bagged the meaty role of the spirit in the show.

    According to our source, "Ketkie will be playing the spirit that wants to get Hari. The story related to her past is that Kangna (Ketkie) was in love with Hari, and was very much possessive about him. Her character in the show will be similar to Urmila Matondkar's in the movie Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya. Kangna unfortunately dies, but her spirit still hunts for Hari and wishes to get him. This is the reason why the spirit does not allow Hari to get married to any other girl".

    We tried calling Ketkie, but she was unavailable for comments.

    J.D. Majethia was also not available for confirmation.

    However, our source informs us that there is still a long way to go for the spirit's identity to be revealed in the show..

    Well, it is to be seen whether the love of Hari and Shree wins over the evil spirit!!

    Thumbsup/Down - 29th Dec 08 - 4th Jan 09

    Catch the weekly twists and turns in your favorite shows.. A thumbs up to the ones where audience likes the track, and a thumbs down where it fails to meet with expectations!





    Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down - A weekly column in our News Hub - Telly Buzz that will give the latest twists and turns in the serials brought about to capture its audience. A thumbs up is where the audience likes the track and a thumbs down is where it fails to meet the expectations...






    Thumbs Up




    Sapna Babul ka Bidaai: The show has delivered what the audience expected!! Ranvir-Ragini getting engaged was the highlight of the show during last week. People got to see their engagement amidst all the sacrifices being made by them for their families, and Aalekh playing a pivotal role in uniting them. Also what was heart rendering was to see Vasu-Aalekh bonding over the decision of Ranvir-Ragini's marriage. The show truly has blended beautifully with the script playing a major part in the success, and a belief that a dark skinned person can have the right to love and get back the love which she enhances. And for the audiences it continues to be a major treat as they are in for some romantic moments to blossom between Ranvir & Ragini!!

    Shree: The tag line "Pavitra Bandhan par Ashubh Saaya" has worked for the show at the initial stages at least. The unknown ghost causing hell lot of trouble in Hari's life by not making him  getting married in spite of all the practices, preaching by his sister –in-law has held the nerves of the audiences. Plus Hari & Shree's chemistry is a welcome change to witness!! Now what remains to be seen is how the story is taken.

    Miley Jab Hum Tum: Last week in Miley Jab Hum Tum, the audience got to see their two favorite jodis struggle and prepare themselves for exams. On one side we had Mayank and Nupur, who aim to top their class!! On the other hand, Samrat who has made a "cool dude" image for himself and struggles his way to study with Gunjan without having to loose his status in college.

    Jai Shri Krishna: The little Krishna has captivated the hearts of millions of fans..His baal leela and the cuteness in which makers have shown it is beautiful!! Last week the high points were Durvasa Rishi having Shaksatkar of Krishna and bowing down forgetting his "Ahankar" Indeed something which was loved by everyone.

    Chand Ke Paar Chalo: Few weeks back the show went for a complete makeover... Aneesha works under Rahul, and his friendship and fondness for Aneesha is increasing, while Aneesha respects her direct boss Rahul . Rahul's strict brother Arjun and Aneesha have become friends but Aneesa doesnt know one little thing that Arjun is atually the big boss of the company..However there are some fresh cute moments in the show which is loved by the fans...Triangle seems to be on the cards here, next but how and what would happen next seems interesting!!





    Thumbs Down




    Maayka – Saath Zindagi Bhar ka: The evil continues to rule!! Yes, this holds true since Durga who changed for a while, once again showed her true intentions of getting Soni out of Jeet's life forever by setting her on fire!! We do understand that a mother can do anything for her son's betterment, but this was the most annoying torture the audiences went through, and if that was not enough, she was successful in throwing Soni out of the house. Another story continued of Angad getting back on the show and into Mahi's life who is already struggling with Shabd's yet to be told reality!! Now comes next is the replacement of Soni, which might work too!! But the script needs a change here, as it is getting monotonous to see Soni crying all the time and Mahi struggling with her own crisis!!

    Teen Bahuraniyan: We are afraid to say that at its winding up stage, the show lands up here!! We have seen the daughters-in-law getting framed by their evil mothers-in-law innumerable times here.. Plus the change of timings also has not worked for the show lately!! Though now everything is set to be good, we just have to say, that this was another show that in spite of its good cast failed when it came to the story line!!

    Sangam: Why does it happen that often the lead pairs are left alone to cry, to such an extent that the audience starts getting jitters at the very thought of them getting together??  Well certainly we don't have an answer, but this could be the finest example of Sangam, whiat initially had the promise of Saagar-Ganga love story, but failed to hold audiences' interest! Sagar getting married to Kaveri was the worst scenario, and to add up more, Kaveri's character was replaced not once but twice!! Now with the leap round the corner, we presume that the show will not breathe any further in spite of its last ground-saving strategy!!

    Kasturi: Will they unite or wont they?? Inspite of the fact that Robbie Kasturi love each other, they are seperated yet again...While there are new enterants in the show, fans are disappointed as they want to see Robbie-Kasturi reuniting. But the story has left the viewers confused and crying for betterment!!

    Kasamh Se: Veer the illegitimate child of Jai and Pia comes to know the half truth, that Jai is his biological Father. However he is made to believe a fake story by Jigyasa and he schemes as a result kills Pushkar who brought him up and makes it appear an acciden. However, the twist wherein he wants to unite Pia and Jai is unbelievable!! Once again relationships are found brutally murdered..However its said "Serial Ki Duniya main har gunah maaf", so the family has forgiven Veer's nadani..

    Please note: There are lot of shows and to give fair chance to all, we try to cover all the shows on rotation basis! The views expressed in this article are solely by the author.

    Special Thanks to Dev Team for their Inputs

    Will 13 prove to be a lucky number for Hari?

    Posted On Monday, January 12, 2009 at 02:58:33 AM


    Many rishtas have come for Hari Raghuvanshi the ideal son of the Royal Gujarati Raghuvanshi family, but somehow none of them have materialized. His family, including his mother and loving Madhu bhabhi, are very concerned.

    After Hari's 12th rishta doesn't work out, Madhu bhabhi visits a Mahant who reveals a shocking truth - Hari is haunted by an obsessed evil spirit. The Mahant warns Madhu bhabhi, that Hari must be married within the next 16 days in order for him to have peace and love. What comes across strongly is that the girl who is meant for Hari must be brave and fearless.

    In Janakpur, a small town in Gujarat, is a meek and submissive girl Shree, who's scared even of her own shadow. She's extremely vulnerable and has never taken a decision for herself. Hari sees Shree for the first time in Janakpur and instantly falls in love with her.

    The supernatural power tries to deter Hari but he remains unaffected. It now attacks Shree indirectly. Hari saves her life and day by day becomes more enamored by her and professes his love for her. The spirit seeing this becomes extremely hostile and tries to inflict bodily harm on Shree but Hari's true love helps him save Shree.

    The Mahant conducts a hawan in order to rid the family of the evil spirit and to capture it in a bottle. He hands over the responsibility of burying the bottle to Madhu bhabhi and warns her that the spirit is strong and will try to conjure up images which will not be real.

    Will the spirit remain trapped in the bottle or will it manage to escape and come face to face with Shree? Will Shree be the lucky 13th girl for Hari? Will she be able to bravely stand up to face the evil forces and make her love win? Watch Shree Mon-Thurs at 10:30 pm only on Zee TV!
