K Sera Sera sets up subsidiary for TV content
MUMBAI: Mumbai-based K Sera Sera, which is primarily into movie production, has floated a subsidiary company for its television content venture.
Twenty Twenty Television (TTT) will carry out the television production business, says K Sera Sera chief executive officer Kacon Sethi.
The new company is in the process of completing its financial structuring and is in negotiations for roping in a strategic investor. “We are in talks with non resident Indians (NRIs) and expect to raise $ two million by the end of January,” says K Sera Sera managing director Parag Sanghvi. He, however, did not reveal the names of the NRIs.
Rajesh Pavithran, who recently quit Balaji Telefilms, will be the chief operating officer of TTT and will also oversee K Sera Sera’s broadband and wireless businesses. He will have a separate team and will be reporting to Sethi.
“We are moving in with six projects,” says Sethi.
K Sera Sera will be producing a reality show for Sony Entertainment Television and popular comedy programme Hum Paanch (which was first produced by Balaji Telefilms) for Zee TV. The other shows include Darna Mana Hai (a big budget one-hour show involving Ram Gopal Varma), Bold and Beautiful Wives, Dulhan and Kashish. “The real-time legal show for Sony will be unique in its concept. We have been contracted by Zee for Kashish. The results will reflect in the next financial year,” says Sethi.
K Sera Sera has appointed Ernst & Young to formulate a business plan for the company.

UDF poised to return to power in Kerala, says Manorama-CVoter survey
Massive opinion poll projects shift in Kerala politics ahead of 2026 Assembly elections.
MUMBAI: The winds of change appear to be blowing through Kerala’s political landscape and this time, they seem to favour the United Democratic Front. A comprehensive mega opinion survey conducted by Manorama News in partnership with CVoter projects a potential comeback for the UDF in the upcoming Kerala Legislative Assembly Elections 2026. The survey, covering all 140 constituencies with a massive sample size of nearly 90,000 respondents, predicts the UDF could win between 69 and 81 seats.
The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) is expected to secure 57 to 69 seats, a significant drop from the 99 seats it won in the 2021 elections. This would mean the LDF losing 30 to 42 of its sitting seats. Meanwhile, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which drew a blank in 2021, is projected to open its account with 1 to 5 seats.
Region-wise, the UDF is expected to make strong gains in Malabar, winning 25 to 34 out of 48 seats, and in Central Kerala, where it could bag 29 to 33 out of 53 seats. In South Kerala, the LDF is likely to retain an edge with 21 to 25 seats, while the UDF may improve to 12 to 16 seats. The NDA could pick up 1 to 3 seats in the southern region.
The survey was conducted between 14 and 26 March 2026, with additional tracker and snap polls carried out from December 2025 to March 2026. A total of 89,693 respondents participated, ensuring representation across all demographics and social segments.
Manorama News has a strong track record of accuracy, with its previous projections closely matching the actual results of the 2019 and 2024 Lok Sabha elections as well as the 2021 Kerala Assembly polls.
In Kerala’s famously fierce political battles, this survey suggests the pendulum may be swinging back. Whether the final verdict matches these numbers or throws up another surprise, one thing is clear, the 2026 Assembly elections are shaping up to be one of the most keenly watched contests in the state’s history.
