Amitabh Bachchan follows Anil Kapoor with fictional TV show, 'Yudh' (watch video)

New Delhi: After successfully anointing ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati' to megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Sony Entertainment Television is all set with yet another series of show starring Big B. The show titled ‘Yudh' is a series of a few episodes much like Anil Kapoor's ‘24' that got consummated with 24 episodes last year. The show strikingly marks Big B's television debut in the fictional category. The show seems to be a thriller one with Amitabh Bachchan trying to decode a mystery as shown in the running promos of ‘Yudh.' Co-produced by Endemol and Saraswati Productions, the show is expected to hit the screen later this month. The show is believed to have spent around Rs 3 cr. on its each episode which is the highest production cost per episode till date on the Indian television. The audience will see Amitabh Bachchan as ‘Yudhishthir' along with actors like Sarika, Tigmanshu Dhulia and Kay Kay Menon in other prominent roles. Directed by noted director, Shoojit Sircar, the show also includes Anurag Kashyap as one of the creative team's member. According to Rohit Gupta, vice-president of MSM, which runs SET, the show has got a "one-of-a-kind differentiated content.” Have a look at the promo of the ‘Yudh' starring Amitabh Bachchan here. The slot time is yet to be decided considering such a defined starcast and Mr. Bachchan's association with the show. Also, the storyline of ‘Yudh' has been carved in such a way that it caters to family-drama but gives out a special treatment with its screenplay.
