Sony TV to launch 'Maan Rahe Tera Pitah'

Earlier this week, BizAsia.co.uk confirmed that Sony Entertainment Television Asia's 'Jeet Jayenge Hum' is being axed; we can now tell you about its replacement.

The channel has told BizAsia.co.uk that new show, 'Maan Rahe Tera Pitah' will replace the troubled drama in the weekday 21:30 band.

'Maan Rahe Tera Pitah' is produced by Siddharth Tewari of Swastik Pictures who produces the ratings winner, 'Agle Janam Mohe Bitya Hi Kijo' on ZEE TV. The Sony TV drama will have the same type of rural background set in Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh. It will depict the lives of coal workers, loosely based on the Bollywood movie, 'Kala Patthar'.

Archana Taide, Varun Badola and Pramod Moutho will play pivotal roles in 'Maan Rahe Tera Pitah'.

According to TellyChakkar, Archana plays the daughter of Moutho, who is mentally unstable. She does everything possible to ensure her father’s pride and honour, lest anyone pokes fun at his mental state. The show will have a rustic look.

'Maan Rahe Tera Pitah' launches on Monday 26th April at 21:30, the same day 'Indian Idol 5' takes to the airwaves.
