Yash Patnaik: “It’s not easy for all writers to write ‘Ishq Mein Marjawan 2′”

Yash and Mamta Patnaik’s ‘Ishq Mein Marjawan 2’ (IMM2) was digitalised in March 2021. Though the show always had a good digital presence, the change in the platform allowed the makers could explore more as far as the storytelling is concerned as TV had certain restrictions.

“Since March the series has become a Voot Select Exclusive which allowed us to be more experimental with the storytelling. It’s great to see the positive reaction of the digital audience to IMM2,” he said.

“IMM2 has a different kind of grammar. It’s like ‘Catch Me If You Can” in a loop. It’s not easy for all writers to write the show,” he added.

The show went on-air in July 2020, and still manages to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The producer rightly says very rarely a thriller sustains for this long and credits his wife Mamta for this.

“I will give the complete credit to Mamta and her team to keep coming up with the twists and turns. Though sometimes I do give them some characters and plots, it’s they who do the hard work,” Yash concluded.
