JR Entertainment, the production company floated by Mukerji, is
currently shooting a daily soap titled Pratima.
According to a Sahara spokesperson, however, talks for airing
Pratima are currently on and the deal is likely to be finalised
soon. According to Sahara programming head Basaav Raaj, the channel
is also considering projects from other production houses like Balaji
and UTV as well. Meanwhile, Mukerji is confident that the serial
will be launched some time soon.
The story has a female protagonist played by Jyoti Mukerji, who
has earlier featured in Gharana on Zee. Based on a woman's
struggle, the serial has a 'Bengali' backdrop. It draws a parallel
between a woman who revolts after being pushed too far and the transformation
of the peace loving goddess Durga into a vengeful Mata Kali.
