Sony Entertainment Television announces new show ‘Kaamnaa’
Mumbai: Sony Entertainment Television (SET) has announced its new show titled “Kaamnaa – Hoga Khwaahishon Aur Usoolon Ka Aamna Saamna.” Starting 15 November, the show will air every Monday to Friday at 8:30 pm only on SET.
The slice of life drama tells the story of Akanksha and Manav, a middle-class couple with different ideologies. The lead roles are played by Chandni Sharma and Abhishek Rawat. Manav is a sincere government official and a loving family man who believes in living an honest life based on his principles. On the other hand, Akanksha is a devoted housewife and caring mother, but she has big dreams and desires to break away from the stereotypical middle-class environment and live a luxurious life. The conflict plays out as the story unfolds.
“At Sony Entertainment Television, we always strive to engage the audience with stories that are not just relatable and entertaining but also thought-provoking. ‘Kaamnaa’ is one such show that mirrors the reality of every Indian household especially when it comes to making a choice between one’s middle-class values and aspirations,” said SET and digital business head of content Ashish Golwalkar.
The show is produced by Cockcrow and Shaika Entertainment. “Sony Entertainment Television has been a pioneer in bringing forth simple, yet heartfelt concepts depicting the life and struggles of the common man. We are extremely delighted to present our passion project ‘Kaamnaa’ – that puts the spotlight on the middle-class society where one is constantly faced with conflicting ideologies,” stated Cockcrow and Shaika Entertainment head Rajesh Ram Singh.
“Our characters Manav and Akanksha are two faces of the same coin, while one is a man of principles and believes in doing the right thing, the other has high aspirations of living a luxurious lifestyle. Through their journey viewers will get to witness how far one can go to fulfil their dreams,” added Singh.
