Bhandarkar signs for new Sony TV show

Bollywood filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has been signed to produce a new drama for Sony Entertainment Television Asia.

Speaking to TellyChakkar about the show, a source from the production says, “Firstly, let me make it clear Madhur is not directing but only producing it. It�۪s going to be a weekly show. We�۪ll be making 10 short stories of one episode each for Sony. All these stories are very much women oriented. After all, they are the target audience. The title isn�۪t decided yet but we expect the show to launch in mid-February.”

Madhur Bhandarkar’s last movie ‘Fashion’ based on the fashion industry did well at the box office.

Speculation is also rife that Sony TV has approached Mahesh Manjrekar and Vikram Bhatt to direct a show each for them. Both Mahesh and Vikram remained unavailable for comment.
