Director Tharun Bhascker of ‘Pelli Choopulu’ and ‘Ee Nagariniki Eamaindhi’ fame has turned into a TV show host. Months after debuting as a lead man in ‘Meeku Maathrame Cheptha’, the young filmmaker is now hosting a shot for ETV Plus.

Titled ‘Neeku Maathrame Cheptha’, this one is a talk show that will go on air from March 14. To be telecast every Saturday, it will see informal chit-chats between the host and celeb guests. Since Tharun is a new-age filmmaker with a tendency to be unconventional and politically incorrect, expect 'NMC' to be cool and chic.

Besides the TV debut, Tharun is also into web series making and production. On the film front, he is expected to start directing the much-delayed film with Victory Venkatesh either towards the end of this year or in early 2021.
