MUMBAI:
Sony Entertainment Television (Set) has gone on a soap launching
spree. Soon after announcing the launch of a daily soap Sujata
at 10 pm slot, the Hindi general entertainment channel is
readying for another fiction show Waqt Batayega Kaun Apna
Kaun Paraya at 10:30 pm.
Both
these shows will kick off on 14 April, replacing the current
reality series Ustaadon Ke Ustad.
Waqt
Batayega Kaun Apna Kaun Paraya is produced by Creative
Eye.
Commenting
on the new show, Set creative head Sanjay Upadhyay said, "Waqt
Batayega… is an effort to bring realistic stories
to the viewer. The core of this story is very strong and very
much relevant in today's time when people are always struggling
to judge who is their own and who's not. The story is a mirror
to the bitter reality which still exists in our society."
Waqt
Batayega Kaun Apna Kaun Paraya is a story of Rudra, an
adopted girl who enjoys the love and affection of her father
Biswajeet, who hails from one of the biggest Zamindar families
in Kolkata. However, the other family members have always
considered her an outsider. She yearns for mother's love but
her foster mother Yashomati does not show any affection towards
her. The story comes to full circle with Yashomati realising
her worth after she gets deceived by her own sons and accepting
Rudra as her daughter, a daughter Yashomati has longed for.
"The
subject of Waqt Batayega… is very sensitive and
we are glad that Sony Entertainment Television has liked the
concept and we hope it touches the viewers' hearts too. It
is a very different story. In a society where male child rules,
here is a family that is longing for a girl child. The show
attempts to explore and understand the importance of a girl
child in a family and society at large," said Creative
Eye chairman and MD Dheeraj Kumar.
To support the storyline, the serial has names like Mukesh
Khanna, Kishori Shahane Viz, Nishigandha Wad, Gufi Paintal,
Nayan Bhatt, Eva Grover and Payal Sarkaar as actors in it.
