SRK is back on TV as a Producer

Shah Rukh Khan is set to make a mark as a producer on the small screen. Shah Rukh’s Red Chillies Entertainment Pvt Ltd is producing a weekly sitcom called Ghar Ki Baat that will air on NDTV Imagine. Ghar Ki Baat is Red Chillies’ first production on television.

Says a source, “Ghar Ki Baat is a weekly show that will air on NDTV Imagine. The shoot is going to commence from the 24th of this month. Juhi Babbar, Sumeet Raghavan, Swapnil Joshi and Jayati Bhatia are part of the show. Aziz Mirza is the creative director while Ananth Mahadevan will direct the show. Ghar Ki Baat is probably going to be on the same lines to that of Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi.”

Though he didn’t reveal anything about the show Sumeet Raghavan did confirm being offered the show. On the other hand, Jayati Bhatia admitted to being part of the cast. It is also buzzed that there may be similarities between Ghar Ki Baat and the old time mega hit Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi. When asked to comment on this Jayati replied, “I don’t think so. The only thing similar is that it’s a weekly sitcom.”

We called up Samar Khan of Red Chillies but he refused to comment and asked as to contact the channel.

Imagine programming head Shailja Kejriwal remained unavailable for comment.

Even if the show is remotely ‘inspired’ by Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi viewers are in for a rollicking time.
