Raja Mukherjee has been been seen on the television circuit for a while after the demise of his production Prratima on SaharaOne. The producer director brother of film star Rani Mukherjee, is now ready with a new primetime show for Doordarshan titled Kehkashan.
The show will be a love story on the lines of the Yashraj film Veer-Zaara and will star Dimple Inamdar, Avir Goswami (Lakshya, Prratima),Arup Pal, Aleesha Hinduja and Krishnakanth (Ada).
"It is a love story and talks about unity between the Hindus and the Muslims, their love for each other and not the hatred between them. It talks about sacrifice and has no saas bahu antics," smiles Raja, for whom the show's content seems more important than the actors!
"I play a Muslim girl, Kehkashan, who is searching for her father. My look is like Rani Mukherjee's in Veer-Zaara, complete with the conservative background," says Dimple, who is excited about her new avatar in the show and has already shot eight episodes.Kehkashan is slated for a launch in April. Dimple has worked with Raja Mukherjee previously in Prratima and currently has her hands full with Sony's Ek Ladki Anjani Si and Kumkum Ek Pyarasa Bandhan.
Raja, incidentally, is doing another show for Doordarshan titled Kisi Ki Nazar Na Lage, for which he is yet to cast the actors, but the storyline is about three generations and the sacrifices by the bahus of the house. He is scheduled to go to Kolkata shortly for the shooting of his new Bengali film.
