The young director, inspired by the success of his small screen venture Lakumi, is all geared up for a new tele-serial called Bombeyatavayya.

To be aired on Suvarna channel, the serial is based on the saying that ‘life is a puppet show, wherein all moves are decided by God’.

Film actress Vinaya Prasad’s daughter Prathama, a dancer, will be making her small screen debut through this serial as the protagonist. “This serial depicts how certain incidents in our lives are beyond our control. And I am extremely happy with Prathama’s performance as the female lead. It was after the the success of Lakumi that I came to know about the reach of television. I hope this project will earn us even more fame than our earlier projects,” says Prakash.

The serial will be telecast at 7 pm during the weekends and Srikanth Heblikar will be the director.

“The story of Bombeyatavayya begins with the village as the background, where Kamala, the lead character, lives with her parents. Though she is the second daughter of her parents, she takes up the responsibilities of a son. The rest of the story is about her life,” says Srikanth.

Prathama revealed that she was reluctant to do serials as she did not want acting to take a toll on her dance career.

“But the team of Bombeyatavayya convinced me to take this up. If I had not done this role, I would not have known my skills. It is an exclusive script and I am trying my best to provide justice to it,” says Prathama.

Anoop Chandrashekaran, Business Head, Suvarna channel announced the launch of the serial and said his channel is committed to deliver path-breaking themes in both fiction and non-fiction categories.
