There is bad news for Star Plus sci-fi series Antariksh. The channel has decided to axe the show in order to make way for Karam Apna Apna in the 8 pm slot. Sources close to the channel have confirmed this new development. Karam… is being shifted from its 9:30 pm time spot to accommodate KBC which starts in January. Antariksh though isn't the only show shutting shop. Viraasat too is being asked to wind up. Although rumour has it that the show will return in a couple of months time for a second season. Unlike Viraasat, Antariksh is shutting shop for good as the show has not been able to get high TRPs and is being regarded as a flop serial. The serial was supposed to be inspired by Star Wars and was launched with great fan fare three months back. It is alleged the show's leading man Ganesh Venkatraman was very upset with this news. But when contacted he said he wasn't sure that the serial was ending. " I have heard about the show going off air, but we don't have any official confirmation as yet. I guess because of KBC there is a lot of reshuffling going on. But I can't comment about my show ending till I get confirmation from the channel," says Ganesh. Can't blame the actor for not confirming the news because people have been speculating about Kahin to hoga ending in January. Some believe that Karam… will replace it. |
