Sony SAB launches ‘Tera Yaar Hoon Main’, a show on father-son bond

MUMBAI: Father, a son’s first hero. But can this hero be his friend too? Will an attempt at friendship spoil or enrich the lives of a father and son? Sony SAB’s latest offering, Tera Yaar Hoon Main seeks to address this new age dilemma in a light-hearted and Indian family backdrop. The show features a stellar line-up including Ssudeep Sahir, Rajendra Chawla, Shweta Gulati, Ansh Sinha, Meghan Jadhav, Jaya Ojha amongst others and is all set to premiere on 31 August 2020 at 9 pm only on Sony SAB

Produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions, Tera Yaar Hoon Main is built on the lives of Jaipur’s Bansal family, the show draws inspiration from the evolving times and its effect on each generation in a family. Rajeev (Ssudeep Sahir) regrets not having an open and friendly relationship with his father, the patriarch i.e. Pratap Bansal (Rajendra Chawla) and does not want it to be the same with his teenage son, Rishabh (Ansh Sinha). Eager to keep up with today’s time and be a part of his son’s life, he takes the approach of becoming his friend in real and virtual life too. But Rishabh’s reluctance and embarrassment to be his father’s friend is a setback for Rajeev. While he loves and respects his father, he wants to just keep it at that and not have him as an intrusive ‘buddy’ in his life.

The show will keep the audience engaged with the son reacting to his father's attempts to be his friend in a series of consequences that are highly relatable and inspired by events that may have taken place in every average Indian household. While the show's fascinating story focuses on a father-son relationship, Tera Yaar Hoon Main is a perfect amalgamation of modern yet largely conservative average Indian household. It is latest addition to Sony SAB's robust offerings of light-hearted and values-driven shows that appeal to the entire family.

Sony SAB business head Neeraj Vyas said, "It has always been Sony SAB's endeavour to offer content and concepts that are highly relatable and that can bring smiles on everyone's faces. Tera Yaar Hoon Main highlights the nuances of new-age father-son relationship, the emotions, the affection and even some dilemmas it brings. We have always attempted to present compelling stories with characters that are loved by all sets of television audience and we hope that Tera Yaar Hoon Main too has all the right ingredients to create a special place in the hearts of our viewers"

MUMBAI: Sony SAB will soon launch a new show titled Tera Yaar Hoon Main, which highlights the dynamics of the new-age father-son relationship and a father’s effort in trying to become his son’s friend. To drive home the uniqueness and freshness of this subject, Sony SAB has brought on board Bollywood heartthrob Varun Dhawan to endorse the show and truly bring out the intricacies of a father-son relationship through a series of warm and endearing memories of his relationship with his own father.

In a sixty second heart-warming video to introduce the concept of the show, Varun takes a stroll down memory lane, recounting the various instances when his father, instead of behaving like a conventional father, chose to be a pal, a guide, a confidant helping him become the man he is today. Varun beautifully encapsulates his father’s affectionate side by saying “Dosti Ke Farz Mein, Woh Mere Baap Nikle”. It is this very emotion of gratitude, friendship and immense love that Varun feels for is father that forms the core of Tera Yaar Hoon Main, making him the ideal choice as an ambassador for this show.

What viewers will find in this uplifting video is a son remembering all those bittersweet moments in life, when his father stood by him, not as a preaching authority figure, but as a friend who encouraged him to make mistakes so he could learn better and a guide who steered him towards achieving his wildest dreams!

Sony SAB business head Neeraj Vyas, “Tera Yaar Hoon Main highlights the nuances of new-age father-son relationship, the emotions, the affection and even some dilemmas it brings. Having worked with him earlier, we are delighted to associate with Varun Dhawan again, it’s always great to work with him. We found Varun to be a perfect fit to portray the classic Indian father-son relationship, his narration of the same has been beautifully weaved into this promo for the show. Sony SAB has been at the forefront of showcasing values driven lighthearted content that brings the entire family together, we hope Tera Yaar Hoon Main becomes a quick family favourite too.”

Varun Dhawan said,“The bond between a father and a son is indeed unique and finding a yaari in your father is special. Sony SAB’s Tera Yaar Hoon Main is a beautiful journey of every middle-aged father and his attempts at being friends with his teenage son. It is a heartwarming story that reminded me of some of the most cherished moments with my father.”
