Alpha Marathi's much adored daily soap <em>Avantika</em> will soon be buried to make way for <em>Oon Pauus</em>. Both <em>Avantika</em> and <em>Oon Pauus</em> are the brainchild of Asmita Productions' Smita Talwalkar. Talking about <em>Oon Pauus (Sun N Rain)</em>, Smita says, "The story is based on veteran novelist Barve's book. Prabhakar Panshikar (another veteran theatre personality) wanted to make a play on this subject. However, it didn't happen and it came to me to be made into a serial. Alpha channel liked the concept and it took the shape of a serial."
