Viraj Kapur and Karan Raj Kohli
Viraj Kapoor and Karan Raj Kohli, producers of the web series Haq Se and the television show Dil Yeh Ziddi Hai, are probably the youngest producers in the entertainment business. We catch up with the creators, who are keen to try their hand at the television after making a splash in digital entertainment. Edited excerpts from the interview.
Was production always the dream?
Kapur: My grandfather owned one of the first independent studios in Mumbai [Khanna House]. So, I have grown up on sets. Karan and I met at film school. We both had the hunger to tell socially relevant stories. Our first offering, Haq Se, was about the ambitions harboured by four sisters from Kashmir. Dil Yeh Ziddi Hai is about an ordinary girl with the hunger to achieve goals regardless of the fact that she is blind.
Kohli: I am a Delhi boy; I moved to Mumbai seven years ago. It has been a learning experience since. Ekta Kapoor has been a big support because she knows how to back her talent. We learned the tricks of the trade from one of the best.
