After experimenting with the Big screen, Shah Rukh Khan is venturing into production in the small screen with his newly launched company, Idiot box which will produce exclusively for the television audience.

The company’ first program, a chat show titled ‘First Ladies’ based on a truly innovative idea is aimed at the huge chunk of dedicated lady television viewers. The newly launched weekly sitcom titled ‘Ghar Ki Baat Hai‘ for NDTV Imagine is said to have been inspired from the old television series ‘Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi‘.

The sitcom is directed by Anant Mahadevan and Bhavana Sresht. The cast of the show includes Sumeet Raghavan, Juhi Babbar, Swapnil Joshi, Ali Asgar, Jayati Bhatia and Deven Munjal.

The show is said to be based on the country’s first sitcom Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi of 80’s, which remains one of the biggest hits on Indian television till date. According to Shahrukh Khan, the show is not a copy but a tribute to Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi.

“I think the originality of this soap opera will depend on its presentation. Times have changed, so the way of presentation is also different,” Shah Rukh Khan said while talking to reporters after the launch ceremony. The show will be on air from January 30 on NDTV Imagine channel.

Speaking to the media, King Khan said, “I have been a film producer for the last eight to nine years and have experience acting for the last 20 years. I think I can bring a difference to television. In terms of presentation of content, I will try to bring cinematic value to television”.
