 While
speaking to indiantelevision.com, Playtime Creations director Hemal
Thakkar says: "We are planning several comedy shows that have
been conceived by our newly formed creative team. The comedy shows
includes titles such as Hamara Bajaj; Kab honge kam yaab!!; Bhagvan
Bachaye inse; Kaho na kya hai amongst others. All these comedy
shows have plots revolving around situations and extremely lovable
characters. I am sure the plots will have Indian TV viewers in splits."
Talking about Shubh Mangal Savadhan, Thakkar says: "Currently,
the only comedy show on Sahara, Shubh Mangal Savadhan is
running in repeats in the 11.30 pm slot from Monday to Thursday.
The show, at least to my knowledge, has been truly the first successful
daily comedy across all the channels."
Playtime is also on the verge of venturing into the children show
genre. "We are also planning a kids show called Batuk.
This concept revolves around a novel idea; a fantasy one wants to
live with. And I am sure the idea hasn't been exploited on Indian
television," Thakkar adds.
The production house will also foray into the youth based romantic
thriller genre. "Pyaar Mohabbat & All that deals
with the youth of today. It examines their new found fears in this
developing society; changing relationships in today's times; it's
a very interesting base with a perfect mix of ordinary characters
in extra ordinary circumstances," Thakkar claims.
As far as soaps are concerned, Thakkar says: "And of course,
we are developing soaps such as Sapne Apne zindagi parayee.
The show will be a drama that will have all the ingredients of standing
out amongst the plethora of soaps on air. Then there is my personal
favourite love story Thoda hamara thoda tumara."
Thakkar, however, refused to comment on the channels wherein the
shows will be aired.
