Will money corrupt Sukh By Chance?

When there is no money there are problems, but when there is more money there are greater problems... This is what Sukh by Chance the new show

Dheeraj & Kokila in Sukh by chance

is about.

The show promises a refreshing change with the return of the middle class family into the living rooms. Sukh by Chance is a simple and relatable story of a middle-class Gujarati joint family, the Mehta family, who live a contented life in spite of minimum financial support. The Mehta household will mirror the dreams of many such Indian families experiencing the pains and joys of living under one roof with a varied range of individuals, each with his/her unique character. They may not be rich, but sharing love and the small pleasures of coping with life keeps several families like the Mehta family together under one roof.

Although the Mehta family has modest financial earnings, they are content with their material assets and more involved in deriving happiness from the little joys of life found in sharing life within a big, happy household. They not only continue to reside under one roof amicably, but have a common joint bank account operated by the patriarch of the family. Life is filled with ups and downs, but the Mehta family never misses an opportunity to celebrate the smallest of the occasions.

Their day is very similar to many of the homes across India. A wake up call saying no tooth paste ... a very common occurrence in the Mehta household, but the family members are in splits when they see Mohanbhai using all his energy to squeeze the almost empty paste tube to get a few brushes with paste. Less money or no money, it never dampens the spirit of the Mehta family!

One day Mohanlal is told that he has got Rs 3 crores in his account! From there on, starts the clash of Value Vs Greed. Can Mohanlal keep his family together with the high values he has inculcated in them?

After mastering the genre of light-hearted family dramas like Khichdi, Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai, Jasubhai Jayantilal Joshi Ki Joint Family, Baa, Bahu aur Baby; actor- producer Jamnadas Majethia (JD) & Hats Off Production along with director-writer Aatish Kapadia brings yet another show of the same genre for Sony Entertainment Television.

Sukh By Chance casts a convincing mix of actors like Sanjivv Jotangia, Bharti Patil, Shyam Pathak, Shreya More, Ujjwal Chopra, Upasana Shukla, Ketkie and others.

Hats Off's 'Sukh by Chance' for Sony gets its cast..

Hats Off's comedy show for Sony, Sukh by Chance will see majority of the cast that was present in Jassuben Jayantilal Joshi ki Joint Family..

Telly Buzz had exclusively reported earlier that Hats Off Productions is coming up with a comedy show on Sony Entertainment Television, tentatively titled 'Sukh by Chance'.

We had written that the story will revolve around a small lower middle class Gujju family, who literally scan thro' their pockets at the end of every month to get even a penny. All of a sudden, lady luck smiles on them, and they become rich. All the scarcities in their lives are now taken over by big bank balances, and all kinds of luxuries. With money coming in, their lifestyle changes, and their mentalities too change.

Adding more to the info, our source tells us, "The story will focus on three brothers and their families who take the plunge from leading a hand-to-mouth existence to becoming rich. The cast for the show is almost finalized, and the show is expected to go on floor in a day or two".

Ardent fans of Hats Off's Jassuben Jayantilal Joshi Ki Joint Family which used to air on NDTV Imagine have a reason to smile as 'Sukh by Chance' will bring together majority of the cast of the Imagine show.

According to our source, "Sony wanted J.D Majethia himself to play the elder brother, Mohanlal in the show. However, the Producer's prior commitment to his debut film Khichdi has kept him out of the show. Sanjeev Jogtiyani who essayed the character of Shailesh Joshi in Jassuben will be seen as the eldest brother, while Shyam Pathak who was also part of the Imagine show will play the middle brother. Ujwal Chopra who was earlier seen in Jassuben and is now playing the role of Danny in Hats Off's Shree will play the youngest brother".

"Ketkie.J and Krishna Bharadwaj who essayed the roles of Nandini and Pinakin in Jassuben will play the leads in the show. Other cast includes Upasna Shukla, Anuj Thakur of COLORS' Bandhan fame, Bharti Patil", further informs our source.

The shoot for the show was expected to start from September 15th, but there was a delay as the production house and channel had not zeroed in on the actor to play the main character of Mohanlal, the eldest brother.

The show is expected to launch in the last week of October. 

We tried calling Danish Khan of Sony Entertainment Television, but he remained unavailable..

When contacted, Producer J.D. Majethia told us that he cannot talk about the show now...
