"Ek Thhi Naayka" is an special eight-episode TV show launched on Life OK to promote Ekta Kapoor's forthcoming production venture "Ek Thi Daayan", which is scheduled for a April 18 release.
Konkona, who also features in the Kannan Iyer's directorial debut, does a cameo in the episode, which will go on air Saturday and Sunday. She plays herself in it.
Based in Kolkata, the story is about a middle-age theatre veteran Tanushree Dasgupta, played by Mouli. She is paying a tribute to her mentor and one time leading actress Uma Biswas by doing a play in her honour.
During the staging of the play she meets a newcomer called Laboni, who gives a fantastic performance in the play.
But Tanushree realises unusual things happen when Laboni is around. Then enters Konkona, who helps Tanushree find out the real picture. Ekta and co-producer of the film Vishal Bhardwaj will also be seen doing cameos in "Ek Thhi Naayka". Even other cast members Emraan Hashmi, Kalki Koechlin and Huma Qureshi will appear in forthcoming episodes of the show.
