Mumbai: Channeling the diverse, disruptive and dynamic stories of the digital age with the focus on nuanced and edgy storytelling, Tipping Point has been consistently winning the hearts of the audiences by delivering unique and innovative shows like ‘Jamtara’ and ‘She’ both of which have had successful second seasons, as well as critically acclaimed series like ‘Taj Mahal 1989’ and the anthology of Satyajit Ray’s short stories - ‘Ray’.
With the persistent motive of curating innovative and out of the box content, Tipping Point has scaled up its slate with an array of exciting new series like ‘Parallax’ - a crime thriller, ‘Kaalkut’ - an investigative drama, a ground breaking reality show ‘Transition’, the murder mystery ‘Mahim’ and ‘Boots, Belts & Berets’ based on army cadets’ life, all of which have completed production and will soon be seen on major OTT platforms.
In tune with those efforts, the digital content makers are now all set to entertain the audience with a freshly brewed content slate in collaboration with leading digital entertainment company, Pocket Aces’ premium long-form content studio, Dice Media. The long-term creative alliance between the two content mavens kickstarts with the announcement of ‘Cheeku’, a coming-of-age story, being the first of many more powerhouse shows in the pipeline. The slice of life comedy follows a 24-year-old boy’s struggle to come to terms with the cultural dichotomy of his life. Helmed by Rajesh Mapuskar and show run by Ashwin Suresh, the series will see the veteran actor Prakash Raj in a pivotal role.
Commenting on the collaboration, Ajit Andhare, COO - Viacom18 Studios, under whose leadership the digital content arm was launched, said, "Tipping Point stands for unconventional yet relatable & rooted storytelling. We are dialing up our slate of digital content with a whole new array of heartwarming stories. The first of many more to come is Cheeku.
