Vampires, Theme of the Season!

It was Vivian Dsena who made girls fall in love with vampires through the Balaji Telefilms show Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani... just at the time when the Twilight saga and The Vampire Diaries was creating a rage among the audience. He, with his acting proficiency and good-looks, gave us the Indian version of Edward Cullen, the lead actor of Twilight. Or can we say a dapper vampire?

Television has been transforming and experimenting with the different genres through intriguing stories and concepts. However, vampire tales has not been explored much. Post the serial Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani, it was either certain horror or comedy shows where one could see vampires. However, this concept has not been explored much on television.

It seems like television is now on pick and choose drive from the Hollywood. Taking this trend ahead is MTV India's new show Fanaah - An Impossible Love Story. The series is about a story of unimaginable power, a story of a different time, a story of love that will be never be. However, if we go by the rumours, then it's based on The Vampire Diaries. So, to give a full stop to such rumours, we confirm about the same from Vikas Gupta, the programming head of MTV. "The show is nowhere close to The Vampire Diaries. It's something different and for that you will have to watch the show," says Vikas.

Produced under the banner of Lost Boy Productions, the latest promo of Fanaah shows actors: Karan Kundra, Raatan Raajputh, Rithvik Dhanjani, Anita Hassanandani and Chetna Pande. The show will be aired from July 21.

This is quite an interesting concept for the younger generations who are aware and fascinated with such kind of stories through The Vampire Diaries series and Twilight saga. Interestingly, both the shows have portrayed vampires differently. That's why some people prefer The Vampire Diaries over Twilight and some vice-versa. But what about the Indian style of Vampires? Indian Vampires have shown all about drinking blood, looking handsomely scary and wearing designer horror attires with perfect hair style.

So, will Karan, Ratan and Rithvik manage to break the image of the earlier supernatural show? Will they succeed the vampire image created by Vivian? Well, this is something we will have to watch out.
