Rajesh Kumar has worked with the popular production house The Viral Factory (TVF) in shows like ‘Kota Factory 2’ and recently, ‘Yeh Meri Family 2’. The actor opens up about working with TVF, the creative environment they provide and lots more.
Rajesh Kumar has been one of the most popular names on TV for the past two decades. In the past few years, he has slowly and steadily moved onto OTT. His show ‘Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai’ was one of the biggest hits on Indian television, and when its sequel was released on OTT, it ended up becoming an equally big hit.
Rajesh Kumar recently came up with the second season of the massively successful ‘Yeh Meri Family’ on Amazon MiniTV. The show was produced by TVF. This was his second outing with TVF after the super-successful ‘Kota Factory 2’.
Talking about his experience of working with TVF, he says, “TVF is an institution and itself now, and Arunabh, the best principal you can have to that institution. It’s a place where everyone is given importance, a place where everyone is held at the same level. Because it’s a creative world, so everyone has the right to be creative, or to be non-creative. But TVF has the liberty of being there and just be. Do not carry any kind of baggage, just carry a suitcase or luggage. That's the way they live and the way they breathe or the way they are conducting their content. It's a wonderful experience.”
Speaking of making relatable content-driven shows like ‘Kota Factory 2’ and now ‘Teri Meri Family 2’ with TVF, Rajesh Kumar says, “The whole experience in itself is so complete. In today’s world, where everyone is stressed out and they’re out to prove something to someone, TVF comes up with a project like this (‘Yeh Meri Family 2’). TVF is a full stop, a destination in itself, where you can just sit, relax, and chill, and yet you are doing good content. So, I’m so honoured to be part of TVF and to know Arunabh in my life. So that's them and thanks to them that we will be on with this.”
‘Teri Meri Family 2’ did fantastically on OTT and the show garnered a lot of love, especially for its relatable content and nostalgic vibe. It took 5 years for the second season of the show to come. Let’s wait and watch whether the 3rd season takes that long or it comes up sooner.
