Says Karan, "It's a creative tie-up. My production house Dharma Productions moves into television with this tie-up. I've wanted us to venture into television for a while now. NDTV approached me to partner them in various ways. So here I am."
And what does this creative partnership entail? "I'll basically give them inputs. We're still in the process of deciding what these inputs are. But yes, Dharma productions will start producing television software. And NDTV will have the first right of refusal. It's basically a mutually beneficial partnership between two like-minded companies."
NDTV have a mainstream entertainment channel coming. "And that's where I'll fit in. I've a fantastic rapport with the NDTV team. What started as minor bonding has grown into a give-and-take of ideas and inputs. I've the highest regard for Prannoy Roy. I'm happy. Television is definitely a vital medium."
