MUMBAI: After giving many successful Marathi films and plays, Mahesh Manjrekar has now forayed into Marathi television with his new production Tuza Maza Jamena (TMJ), which will be aired on Zee Marathi.

The lead cast of TMJ is Reema, Manva Naik, Vaibhav Tattvavadi, Vidyadhar Joshi, Suhas Joshi, Bhau Kadam, Poornima Manohar, Shreedhar Bhave, Abhijeet Kelkar and Savita Malpekar amongst others.

The show will be aired from 13 May from Monday to Saturday at 9 pm.

"I‘ve always believed that TV is a very challenging medium, simply because keeping the audience hooked for days on end is not the easiest thing in the world. In fact, I think doing something for TV is the most tiring job. But, it‘s also a challenge that I wanted to take up. Also, TV is too huge a market to ignore," Manjrekar said.

He added, "People are asking me why only Saas Bahu story? In fact, it‘s an everlasting subject. Every day some person or the other has an incident to tell about in-laws, bahus and husbands. The reason my serial is not going to be like other shows are because I have kept my script contemporary. Tuza Maza Jamena is a new age story and will portray the dilemma in every household where there is a gap in generation, egos, beliefs, understanding and expectations. Everybody will identify with the characters. And yes, there will be emotions and lots of humour too."
