SLB's ambitious television project revived; Monica Bedi to make her fiction debut

When the news of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s decision of creating his own brand of shows for the small screen broke, the entire television fraternity expressed delight and contentment. But soon, a blanket of despair shrouded the world of media when the news started floating in that SLB’s shows have been scrapped. But here comes some exclusive news from the house of Tellychakkar.com. The latest dope that we have received is that the creative genius, known for making larger than life films, is now all set to storm the world of television this year, as his maiden show on Star Plus will hit the screens in the next couple of months. The production house (Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions) has already shot the pilot episodes and reliable sources have confirmed us that the cast and crew will go on floors in the month of March, 2012. Now, as we have already reported the show is about a middle class Gujarati family and their two daughters. However, due to some unavoidable circumstances the family will split and few members will stay in India and others will settle down abroad. The shooting will take place in Gujarat. Hold on, there’s more breaking news in store. Monica Bedi, who gained popularity via her stint in Bigg Boss, is all set to make her debut in the world of fiction. Furthermore, there are other entries as well. Chetan Pandit, who is basking in the glory of Agneepath’s success and is also a part of Punar Vivah, will be seen playing the role of Lakshminand Vyas. He will be the second richest businessman in UK. “Yes, I am part of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s show,” confirmed Chetan. Now, Monica will play the role of Chetan’s wife in the soap. “Yes, I have been approached for the role but I would not like to comment anything at this point as nothing has been finalized yet,” said Monica. Folks, read on as there is still more dope. Yatin Karyekar, who played a strict father in Zee TV’s Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan, is also a part of the show. His character will be that of a positive and nice human being and he will be a part of a family who is settled in India, informed a source. We also talked to Yatin Karyekar but he refrained from confirming anything “as things are at its nascent stage.” Well, we hope SLB creates big magic on the small screen as well!!!
