Ektaa has a partner!

Smriti Irani is co-producing Ektaa Kapoor's latest serial "Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Sa Aasman" (TZTA) for Star Plus. The serial, which will be premiered on August 19, is about Umadidi, a 27-year-old daughter of a mill-worker, who undertakes several jobs to run the family ever since the mill closed down. Set in the heart of Mumbai, in a chawl, the story is about the trials and tribulations of common man. Smriti plays Uma. The story and screenplay is by acclaimed writer Kailash Pandey, who also did the screenplay for this year's blockbuster "Rang de Basanti".

Says Smriti: "It is a big break for me to be associated as a co-producer with Ektaa and Balaji Films and both of us are conceptualising the show."
