MUMBAI: Vikas Sethi has ventured into productions along with his wife Jhanvi Sethi and their production company is called VJ Pictures. They are launching their company with a comedy show that will be a five episode web series.
The actor, who has been part of TV shows like "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", "Kahiin Toh Hoga", "Kasautii Zindagii Kay", "Do Dil Bandhe Ek Dori Se" and "Sasural Simar Ka", revealed that he has already done the location recce but couldn't start shoot because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The name of our production house is VJ Pictures. Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, we couldn't start the shoot. I had gone to Jaisalmer for recce and as soon as I came back the lockdown was announced. I have to shoot it in Rajasthan and it's not possible right now to take a crew and travel, and because we will be traveling from Mumbai they will put us straight in quarantine so we are waiting for things to get back to normal," the "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" actor said. Sharing details of the show, he said, "It's a five-episode web series that we are going to produce. It's a comedy show about a phone call which leads to chaos. We have not registered the name yet, but tentatively it's titled 'Phone Ka Jhol'."
Vikas even revealed that during the lockdown they have developed six to seven stories, which are a comedy, a thriller, and another a story about a young teen girl's life. Any plans of producing TV shows? "I still want to get the experience of producing first and then get into TV. TV needs a huge moolah. You need to invest at least a crore to start a show. You have to make the set, then you need to run the show for at least three months, you have to pay for it at first and then later you start getting recovery, and if the show doesn't do well then they will take it off air in six months. Then you land up into lots of problems. So I am still learning, that's definitely the plan, eventually I want to produce a TV show, but not right now, " Vikas signed off.
