9X to offer "Black", new show of paranormal and telepathic powers |
|
|
The 9X channel is coming with a new show titled, `Black`, which is a series of paranormal and telepathic powers.
Sunil Agnihotri, Producer of the new show Black said that his show might go on air either in the last week of January or first week of February. It will be a daily inspired by the cult show X files. Each new story may go even a week or beyond.
"Black" is shot in the exotic locales of Diu, Shimla and Mahableshwar. Black is a series that stars Mamik, Aaliya Shah, Krutika Desai, Vindu, Natasha Sinha, Vinod Kapoor, Shiva, Pradeep Sharma, Vandana Dhankar, Laveena Bhatia, Pranali Bhavsar and Master Yash Gelani.
Speaking about the cast of Mamik in the show, Sunil said, "We needed some one who would fit the bill of an investigator". But will such a genre work in prime time (around 9-10 time band)? Today audiences are receptive to good experimentation. The success of `Colors` is a big example of that new vision. It smartly did not go down the normal Saas Bahu routine. Above all, did shows like Aahat not rock? All depends on the presentation, I would say."
Agnihotri feels that the channel was let down by its own earlier creative team and certain production houses too. He added, "These guys pushed the budgets beyond limit causing the recent trouble. I could have made some of those shows at a much lower cost. But that stage is now over as Peter Mukherjea is getting the channel a fresh look. Black may be the first of a number of new presentations on the channel. Besides the above show, I am also making another fantasy drama for the same channel, called Betal Pachisi which might come on air in April."
Sunil had earlier made the path breaker Chandrakanta for Doordarshan.
