Agastaya Jain, the writer, creator, and creative producer of the TV show Bas Itna Sa Khwaab shares his thoughts on his new show. It stars talented Rajshree Thakur and Yogendra Vikram Singh. The show recently came on air and the first few episodes got some good positive feedback.
Talking more about his show the creator Agastaya Jain says, “One of the best things I heard is - it’s not a typical hero heroine show. It’s actually what we call a family show where each character is nuanced and has a story to tell. Characters are what people are relating to and that makes me happy. Rest all depends on the reviews of the show; fingers crossed!”
When asked about the positive title of the show Bas Itna Sa Khwaab, Agastaya says, “It’s a story of taking that first step towards your dream and potential because the first step is the most difficult one. After that you keep following your path. To me the focus has always been to create content which is timeless. We all need support in our life specially when you are choosing a career which is challenging and always needs validation from audiences.”
So what kind of support did Agastaya get in his career? He says, “Initially, except my wife then girlfriend, no one. But eventually Everyone. It takes time for people to believe in someone’s decision. Now I feel I am the lucky one.” Rajshree Thakur who is known for her versatility is back with this show and Agastaya feels it was the best decision to cast her. “She is proving our decision right with every episode, and there is a lot to come. She has already proved her ability and with this show also she will again prove that good talent is what we need in today’s time.” So as a creator how much pressure do you have for the ratings of your show? Agastaya admits the pressure is there.
He says, “For any successful show, audience attention and love matters the most. There will always be pressure to prove why your show is watchable. My main job is to make the characters relatable and I want my viewers to stay connected with the show. The more attention my characters will get, I know they will be curious to know more about it. A successful show will always have the best of the story with a properly executed script.” Agastaya has previously worked on projects like Meri Durga, Tu Chal Pudhe, Radha Krishna, and Qayamat Ki Raat.
