The TV setting will be interesting to watch…
The offbeat film ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’, made news for its story of a plus size girl who gets married to a thin guy . Well similar story is been recreated in & TV’s new show called ‘Badho Bahu’. Set in the hinterland of Haryana where Big is called ‘Badho ‘and the title of the show is ‘Big Bahu ‘ means big in size . For the show currently the search is on for a plus size actress to play the title role . Somebody like Bhumi Pednekar who played the role of Sandhya with aplomb.
The show is produced by a new production house called Sunny Side Up films private limited .
Incidentally Yash Raj films who made ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha‘ had also made a TV show called Maahi Ve on Sony TV . But the show had an urban setting of a big size girl waiting for her Prince Charming . Karan Johar also made a film Called ‘Gippy ‘ based on same theme.
Bado Bahu will have a rural setting and will explore the complexity of a plus size girl and her marriage. While her husband is a hunk and how circumstances make the two start their love – hate story .
The show will go on air this August .
