Ekta Kapoor announced the reboot of Kasautii Zindagii Kay with much excitement and expectations. From promotions to casting, the makers didn't leave any stones unturned to make it the much-awaited show. The original daily soap was one of the biggest hit series of Indian television. Now, the director of Kasautii Zindagii Kay reboot, Muzammil Desai has opened up on directing its reboot. Desai said that helming a series that has been a hit in the past is quite challenging.
"Directing a series which has been a hit is a big challenge. It is not just a challenge, but is a bigger responsibility for one to reach the trademark that is already set. We have all grown up humming the tune of Kasautii Zindagii Kay and the day I was told that I am directing this show, a mixture of feelings ran in my blood," said Desai.
"I got determined and way too focused to put it all my efforts and to try to make it a bigger hit. The hopes and the expectations of my mentor Ekta Kapoor ma'am, my team, my family and my viewers filled in the zeal and enthusiasm to make it what it was. I wish and I hope that I stand strong on the hopes that I have for the show," he added.
In the past, Desai has worked on Balaji Telefilms' shows like Tere Liye, Kumkum Bhagya and Dil Hi Toh Hai.
Kasautii Zindagii Kay ran for seven years and starred Shweta Tiwari, Cezzane Khan and Ronit Roy. Its reboot, which premiered on StarPlus on September 25 has Parth Samthaan, Hina Khan and Erica Fernandez in pivotal roles.
