Shooting for the first schedule of the Prachi Shah and Samridh Bawa-starrer Ek Shringaar - Swabhimaan, the first series of the lot, was done in Jaipur, with the second schedule kicking off in Mumbai on Monday. Buzz is, with the ongoing show, Swaragini, going off air next month, Barjatya is eyeing the 9.30 pm slot on Colors. Vishesh Suri, general manager at Rajshri Productions-TV, refrained from divulging details.
For the second show, Barjatya will delve into the life of celebrated poet Meerabai. Rajshri is currently scouting for a familiar face to play the protagonist. His other two productions will also be family dramas.
