It’s IPL time, and the ‘Cricket fever’ has already set in!! However, broadcasters plan to counter-attack with new shows and new concepts!! All will begin with Star Plus planning its next fiction launch in Village Boy Productions' upcoming show, Hum Saath Saath Hain. The show which will have the backdrop of Kanpur has Bollywood face Tanushree Dutta's sister Ishita Dutta as the lead. We hear that the show in all probability will be launched on 22 April 2013, or in the extreme case, a week after this. The show will get the early evening slot of 6.30 pm, according to our source.. When contacted, Producer Raakesh Paswan refused to comment. Hum Saath Saath Hain, the family drama has Rahul Sharma and Sachin Chhabra as leads. Pyuomori Mehta, Narendra Jha, Somesh Agarwal, Happy Sharma will be part of the show. Let's see whether Star Plus is able to make some ground at the early evening slot with this project.
