Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Amazon MiniTV, a free-of-charge service within the Amazon shopping app and on Fire TV, will next month begin airing short-form teen romance series “Gutar Gu.” The show is produced by Guneet Monga and Sikhya Productions, whose “The Elephant Whisperers” recently won the Oscar for best documentary short. “We at Sikhya are super excited to work with director Saqib Pandor, transforming our well-received short film into its own web series! “Gutar Gu” – a new chapter in the story of Ritu and Anuj, dives deep into the many ups and downs of teenage relationships- navigating strict parents, dating protocols, and the innocence and moments of first love,” said Monga. “Gutar Gu” features Ashlesha Thakur (in the role of Ritu) and Vishesh Bansal (as Anuj) who experience the dawn of first love.

Over six episodes, the series “focuses on issues, and challenges that can uncover their notions and how it affects their relationship, while the intense parental pressure adds to their woes, and the challenges that come along,” Girish Prabhu, head of Amazon Advertising, said.

A trailer that teases how their journey develops different shades of first love given their different perspectives and familial backgrounds, can be viewed here.

The show uploads from April 5, 2023. BTS star Suga is heading on a musical journey, travelling the world in search of inspiration in the form of new sounds and experiences in the upcoming documentary “Suga: Road to D-Day,” coming soon to streaming service Disney+.
