Is Kashi going the Uttaran way?
By SAMPURNFriday, April 23, 2010
April 23, 2010 (Sampurn Wire):Imagine TV took a bold decision to launch two social shows during Indian Premier League. One is Jamunia while the other is a tale of a little scheduled caste child Kashi. The latter has impressed the critics but fallen victim to IPL
Post IPL, Kashi witnesses a high point with the entry of a parallel lead. Bijyanti, daughter of a rich landlord, will befriend the poor Kashi. So, begins this tale of friendship but don’t fault the viewer if they find the plot similar to that of Uttaran. Coincidently, the two shows are produced by Film Farm India Pvt Ltd.
Bijyanti is played by debutant child actor Nethra Kapoor. Is Bijyanti’s entry part of the original script or has she been drafted in to uplift the TRPs?
Despite repeated attempts, producer Pintoo Guha remained unavailable for comment.
A source closely associated with the show informs, “Bijyanti’s character is very much part of the original script. Kashi will come into contact with this rich child. Unlike Uttaran, Kashi’s sole aim is to seek education. That will never change. People will draw similarities between the two shows, but according to me both shows are different.”
The viewers can judge themselves when Bijyanti make her debut in the coming week.
