Sagars to get Lucky for Star Plus

sagar Arts, makers of Hatim, Hotel Kingston and the recent Akkad Bakkad Bambey Bo, are now making an adventure comedy serial for Star Plus aimed at kids, titled Lucky with Gautam Rode as the lead. The show is likely to be launched in mid-January 2006. "Lucky will be an action-adventure show with a host of characters in it. It will be an episodic comic book show on the lines of Tin Tin or Indiana Jones. So each episode will have its own identity and we will primarily be shooting in Baroda for the show,"says producer Shakti Sagar. The one hour weekly will run episodic stories, some of which will sport titles like Lucky and the Magic Sword. Says Gautam, who is currently shooting for the show at the Sagars' sprawling studios near Baroda in Gujarat, "I play the main lead in the serial, who is a very normal person and loves to help people. He does not have extra powers to fly and is not superhuman.The story will keep changing in every episode. So I am all set to enjoy myself in this comedy-action show." Gautam will be juggling between two projects - Lucky and Ba, Bahu Aur Baby, which runs on weekends on Star Plus. Lucky will be directed by Nisar Parvez and will have Anang Desai and Navni Parihar as central characters in every episode while the female lead and the villain will keep changing. Other artistes who will be making episodic appearances include Amit Behl and Mauli Ganguly.
