Prosenjit Chatterjee Wants TV Shows To Go Pan-India: 'Why Should It Be Limited To Films?'
Last Updated:
Kabhi Neem Neem Kabhi Shahad Shahad promises to bring a refreshing blend of emotions, drama, and family ties.
After becoming the superstar of the Bengali film industry, Prosenjit Chatterjee is now all set to step into the Hindi television world. It was recently announced that he is producing a new show titled Kabhi Neem Neem Kabhi Shahad Shahad, a unique family drama that captures the bittersweet essence of relationships.
Recently, Prosenjit Chatterjee opened up about producing a Hindi television show when he shared, 'This is, in many ways, my first Hindi production and it feels truly special. My father has been part of the Hindi film industry since the 1960s, starting from Sabar Uparey, so my connection with Hindi cinema isn't new. Today, when the world is talking about 'pan-India', I wonder — why should it be limited to films or OTT platforms? Television, too, has the power to go pan-India".
'There is incredible talent across the country from Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, and Gujarati industries. Why shouldn't all that talent be celebrated on television as well? That's the thought that led us here. I'm grateful to Star Plus for supporting this vision. And of course, working with Rakhi Di, one of the finest storytellers, we have brought the perfect concept to life for us to step into Hindi and create meaningful, impactful work," the actor added.
Kabhi Neem Neem Kabhi Shahad Shahad promises to bring a refreshing blend of emotions, drama, and family ties, reflecting the perfect balance of sweet and bitter, just like its title suggests. It stars Abrar Qazi in the lead.
Previously, Abrar also opened up about the show when he said, 'The focus is really on sweet, genuine interactions—those little moments that can feel real and honest. We've made a conscious effort to stay away from the typical cliches. So, even though it's a romantic love story at the heart, it feels refreshing and authentic. It's joyful, it's full of connection, and hopefully, it leaves people smiling."
Kabhi Neem Neem Kabhi Shahad Shahad will premiere on Star Plus on June 11, 2025.
