Tellywood apes Bollywood!

Tellywood is known to lift plots and sub tracks from Bollywood and Tellybuzz tries to decipher why….

Our television industry has now started to follow in the footsteps of Bollywood Industry. The stars from television have propelled themselves to the film industry and we have seen Bollywood stars make their way to the small screen. The bond is not restricted to just swapping of stars but also duplication of Bollywood movies storylines.  Many shows have their basic premise taken from some hit Bollywood movies like Life OK's 'Dil se di dua.Saubhagyavati bhava?' is a lose adaptation of movie Daraar.

Indian Television shows if not based on an already existing Bollywood movie , have traces of Bollywood madness. There are scenes that have been lifted from movies and are integral part of our Television shows. Scenes like the leads getting lost in the forest have been done to death in our serials and almost all the shows have used this path to bring the leads closer. Leads entering the holy bond matrimony in hatred and then finding true love is a track that has been by popular shows like 'Kutumb' , 'Iss Pyaar ko Kya naam doon? '. The hotel scene of 'jab We Met' has also caught the fantasy of all creative of television shows.

Karan Goddwani , who was super successful playing NK in Iss Pyaar ko Kya Naam Doon feels that Bollywood too takes inspiration from everyday life – " The lives we all lead are an inspiration for Bollywood and Television alike. There is a bit of Bollywood everywhere ". We further quizzed him on his favourite Bollywood scene replicated on the small screen and he replied- "It has to be my entry in Iss Pyaar ko Kya Naam Doon. It was pretty similar to Shah Rukh Khan's entry in Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gam , pointing the index finger towards the family."

So, what prompts the creatives to include these scenes? Our creatives have fertile minds and are capable of scripting scenes which have a novelty factor and are aesthetically appealing. Tellybuzz spoke to Vikas Gupta, Associate Creative Director with Balaji Telefilms – "We all want to elongate a storyline of a show. It is mandatory to add subtracks and have a little time space. Films clone each other all the time. Kaho na pyar hai is based on Love Story. I don't think there is anything wrong with it and makes it easier to work with."

What is your reaction? Would you rather have same scenes lifted from Bollywood or have creative come up with a different approach?

Tellybuzz catches the launch of Karanvir Bohra's Mens wear clothing line fashion show.

I was scared of people hating me: Karanvir Bohra

Actor Karanvir Bohra plays an over-possessive and abusive husband in "Saubhagyavati Bhava" and admits that doing an anti-hero role was a risk.

Actor Karanvir Bohra plays an over-possessive and abusive husband in "Dil se di dua.Saubhagyavati Bhava" and admits that doing an anti-hero role was a risk.

Talking about the apprehension he had before accepting the part in the show, he told IANS: "It wasn't easy. Nobody wants to play an anti-hero. In our society, it's all about being a good boy who people find cute and all.

"After 'Kasauti Zindagii Kay', I wanted to do something better and more challenging. There was no point doing any ordinary show. I knew the role of Viraaj was a bigger challenge. But at the same time, I was also scared of people hating me because of the negative role."

Karanvir, grandson of actor-producer Ram Kumar Bohra, came into the limelight as Prem in Ekta Kapoor's show "Kasautii Zindagii Kay". He was also seen in Aziz Mirza's "Kismat Konnection".

In "Saubhagyavati Bhava", which comes on Life OK, he often gets violent towards his wife Jhanvi, played by Sriti Jha.

Before starting to shoot for the show, he read a lot about this 'condition'.

"It's a condition about which nothing can be done. This opened a lot of avenues how he should be. I started putting my own style, clothing sense and all. I made him stand out even though he is an anti-hero, so people loved him," he said.

Even with the entry of Harshad Chopra (Raghav) in the show, Karanvir is not at all insecure about the significance of his role. "It's a love triangle. Everyone has their own role. We three are the pivotal characters so nothing will get affected," he said.

Talking about the violence depicted on the show, he said: "We can't show all the violence and everything on screen. We just suggest it happens and generally don't show the gory details. But once the violence increases, we will have to show it in some way."

As far as films go, he will be seen as the male lead in Hemant Madhukar's upcoming film "Mumbai 125 Kms" opposite Pakistani actress Veena Malik. It is expected to release in August.

"Right now I am finishing shooting for 'Mumbai 125 kms'. Vedita Pratap Singh is also in the film. Madhukar is from south and he has made a couple of Telugu films," he added.

Actors should branch out into other things as well, suggests Karanvir and adds that he sees himself as a commodity and tries to sell himself. After working in films and television serials, he now wants to make movies.

"An actor needs to diversify his capabilities and sell himself as a business. I am a commodity and I sell myself to the audience. It's important for actors to branch out in other businesses. There will be filmmaking in the future for me," he said.
