Mahesh Bhatt’s Vishesh Films is set to produce shows on television

After producing films for over 18 years, Mahesh Bhatt’s Vishesh Films is now going to hit the small screen. The producer has been getting offers from Star Plus and Sony. If all goes well, the production house will produce an hour long weekly mini-series.

Vishesh Bhatt, Mahesh Bhatt’s nephew cum Executive producer of Vishesh Films, says, “My firm has been in talks for a while now as many channels have been approaching us. We are putting our ideas into place for now. Daily soaps are not our forte. We are looking at content oriented, high drama television features or mini-series. We will have a screenplay format on a cinematic genre minus the songs. I think channels have approached us because our films are low cost, have new talent, good music and good writing. All this will go down well with television.”

Like Bhatt’s films, the focus will be on fresh talent. Vishesh says, “Of course, we will search for a lot of fresh talent and hold auditions on a bigger scale.” Vishesh Films is currently producing three movies - Dhokha, Showbiz and Jannat.
