Star Plus is offering a new show in its prime time slot, Ikyawann, starring Prachi Tehlan and Namish Taneja. The show, which premiered on November 13 on the channel, replaced Ekta Kapoor’s historical offering Chandra Nandini. Peeping Moon.com has got hold of inside pictures of the grand launch from the show’s sets at Filmcity, Goregaon. The party was attended by the entire cast and the crew of the show except for the lead actress Prachi Tehlan.

The actress had to give the big event a miss as one of her family members was not keeping well. All the other actors including Namish Taneja, Priyank Tatariya, and Puneet Panjwani were present to celebrate the show’s launch along with the technicians, writer, and director of the show, Ismail Umarr Khan. Manasvi Arya is the creative director and concept story and dialogue writer for the show.

The grand set is built as an old style Gujarati household with open verandahs, a widespread sitting area with an added desi touch.
