2017 has brought a lot of new
shows across channels and the most promising amongst them is Star Plus’s ‘Meri
Durga’. The show which went on air yesterday at 6:30 pm; portrays a beautiful
father-daughter relationship on the lines of the recent Amir Khan starrer mega
blockbuster. The show has been produced by Paperback Films which has Ravindra
Gautam and Pradeep Kumar as partners.
Pradeep Kumar of Paperback Films was born and bought up
in Bettiah, Bihar and came to Mumbai to enter the Indian Navy but found his
calling in content production. Starting at junior profile Pradeep quickly rose
to the helm of production in a decade and headed production at Shakuntalam
Telefilms since its inception. At Shakuntalam he steered the production of many
daily soaps. He recently left Shakuntalam Telefilms to pursue his ambition of
being a producer himself and thus Paperback Films was born.
Commenting on the occasion Pradeep said, “I was totally
opposite the lead character Durga, I loved to read and study. I came to Mumbai
to join Indian Navy but destiny had other plans for me. Never did I think that
I would be a producer in my childhood days. I got introduced to Ravindra in
2012 and we hit off from there. In the year 2016 we were approved by Star Plus
to produce the audio and video pilot for ‘Meri Durga’. It was a big year for us
and we have worked very hard on bringing this show to life. I am hopeful that
the audience likes and appreciates the show.”
As ‘Dangal’ continues to break all records at the Box
Office; the same magic is expected to reflect in the TRP Charts with ‘Meri
Durga’ as a school peon struggles to provide education to his daughter. However
for Pradeep he says the true measure of success is; “Even if we are able to
change the life of 1 girl through the show, I will think that we are
successful. The show highlights the Indian education system and urges parents
to recognize and encourage their child’s innate talent.” The show is based in
Haryana – the state with the highest rate of female feticide; and a set has
been created in a studio in Mumbai. “The noble father – daughter chemistry is
what we portrayed in the promos on air currently. I strongly believe that it
doesn’t matter where you come from, your dreams determine what you will become
in future.” Says Pradeep as he signs off.
We also now believe in the same after meeting this
successful producer who has emerged victorious through persistent hard work and
his self-made journey of over 16 years from Bihar to the tinsel town; we wish
him all the best for his venture.
