TV shows don't follow any writing pattern: S Manasvi

Writing
for
television
shows
is
like
having
a
dish
that
should
not
get
cold
ever,
says
writer-director
S.
Manasvi
and
adds
that
TV
shows
do
not
follow
any
writing
pattern.
The
37-year-old
has
written
for
shows
like
Chhoti
Bahu,
Left
Right
Left
and
Parvarrish:
Kuchh
Khattee
Kuchh
Meethi.
"The
challenge
of
writing
for
small
screen
is
that
there
is
no
beginning,
middle
or
end.
You
just
have
to
go
on
telling
a
story
and
have
to
keep
the
audience
hooked.
So
it
is
like
a
dish,
which
should
not
get
cold
ever," Manasvi
told.
"As
writers
one
thing
that
we
keep
in
mind
is
what
is
the
uniqueness
that
we
are
going
to
bring
forward," he
added.
Keeping
viewers
hooked
on
is
an
uphill
task
"because
people
should
not
feel
that
they
have
seen
it
before.
So,
we
try
to
bring
in
the
novelty
factor
and
tell
a
story,
which
has
not
been
told
before.
Even
if
there
is
a
story
that
has
been
told
before,
we
try
and
present
it
in
a
new
form."
With
various
shows
trying
to
introduce
something
unique,
there
is
a
general
complaint
from
the
viewers
of
stories
following
similar
track.
The
writer,
who
made
his
debut
as
a
director
with
2011
movie
Love
U...Mr
Kalakaar!,
feels
every
story
has
a
particular
life
and
when
that
story
is
coming
to
an
end
new
characters
come
in.
Manasvi,
a
alumnus
of
the
Indian
Film
And
Television
Institute,
Pune,
is
currently
busy
with
Star
Plus'
new
show
Ek
Nand
Ki
Khushiyon
Ki
Chaabi...Meri
Bhabhi,
which
aims
at
re-defining
the
relationship
between
sisters-in-law.
Talking
about
the
concept,
Manasvi
said,
"For
us,
the
inspiration
was
to
show
that
nanad-bhabhi
relationship
can
co-exist
in
harmony."
