 It seems that Indian Television is revamping its style. After the Saas Bahu
sagas, reality shows, social awareness and horror, it’s time to go political
now. A new show based on politics will soon be launched on DD National.
A source says, “The show on DD National will be based on the life of
Sonia
Gandhi. It will be more of her journey as a small child, how she grows
up and
enters politics. The only difference being that she won’t be a foreigner
here.
On the contrary, she will be born and brought up in India. It’s just
that the
story has been inspired from her life.”
“Initially it will depict a love triangle between the protagonist and
two
other guys. But the events thereafter will bear an uncanny resemblance
to
Sonia’s life, with the lead actor being compelled to enter politics
after her
husband’s death. The title has not been fixed as yet but the show is
expected to
hit the air within the next two months. Shooting for the show has
already
started in Gujarat.” adds the source.
Elaborating on the cast of the show, the source says, “Shiju Kataria
who
essays the role of Smriti of 'Behenein' will be executing the role of
the lead
(Sonia Gandhi). She will be accompanied by Raza Murad who is also a well
known
TV actor. The show will be depicted in a filmy style with a similarity
to Sonia
Gandhi’s life but not a copy of it. It has a very powerful concept and
will be
aired on a prime time slot.”
We tried calling Shiju but she remained unavailable for comment!
