Colors announces new primetime show ‘Sirf Tum’ premiering 15 Nov
Mumbai: Colors has announced a new fiction show “Sirf Tum,” which will premiere on 15 November and air on weekdays at 8 p.m.
Produced by Rashmi Sharma Telefilms, the show features Vivan Dsena alongside Eisha Singh in the lead. “From capturing the beautiful locales of Dehradun, bringing talents like Vivian Dsena and Eisha Singh onboard, to creating such a powerful narrative, the entire team has worked relentlessly on every minute detail to capture the essence of this love story and make it appealing for the viewers,” stated producer Rashmi Sharma.
Set in the beautiful locales of Dehradun, against the backdrop of a medical college, “Sirf Tum” highlights the nuances of a complicated relationship between its two lead characters Ranveer and Suhani. “Ranveer is an extremely intriguing character as there are many different shades to him. He is a differentiated hero as his behaviour towards Suhani is anything but conventional – their chemistry reflects a very different side of love,” said actor Vivian Dsena on his role.
“I was looking out for some uniqueness and that’s when I landed the role of Suhani. Suhani is an extremely mellow character with her simple girl next door aura and her meekish but strong personality,” said actor Eisha Singh. “She is graceful, demure and yet is rooted in strong ideologies stemming from family values. Her innocence makes her very striking and unassuming.”
The show also has Sonyaa Ayodhya, Eva Shirali, Sanjay Batra and Nimai Bali in supporting roles.
“Love stories are widely appreciated and resonate strongly with the viewers, and ‘Sirf tum’ is one such story of two opposite personalities, values, and worlds,” Viacom18 head of Hindi mass entertainment and kids TV network Nina Elavia Jaipuria. “With this show, we further aim to strengthen our weekday prime time and reinforce our promise to keep the viewers engaged, entertained with new and unique stories.”
“Today, we are enthralled to recreate the magic of love with Rashmi Sharma Telefilms, who have helmed several strong and beautiful narratives for us in the past,” Viacom18’s chief content officer – Hindi mass entertainment Manisha Sharma. “‘Sirf Tum’ is a unique love story of two individuals – Ranveer and Suhani, whose personalities and lives are poles apart but fate brings them together. Viewers are going to enjoy watching love, romance, passion and drama in this vibrant new love story.”
