Kailash Kher has turned producer with a mythological TV show titled Baba Kedarnath, for Doordarshan. While Anupam Kher, Vivek Oberoi and Ashutosh Rana play narrators for certain parts of the 12-episode serial, Hema Malini, Arijit Singh, Prasoon Joshi, Sonu Nigam, Shaan, Babul Supriyo and Shreya Ghoshal have joined the singer to record a special song, "Jai Jai Kedara".

"I felt that mythological shows we see on TV weren't quite precise so I decided to make one with proper research. The idea coincided with the Uttarakhand government approaching me to make something on the state's history," reveals Kailash, adding that his prime focus is on making his show as authentic as possible.

He is taking his producer stint seriously too. "I plan to make shows and films that are entertaining and educational and promote Indian culture instead of blindly copying the West."
