this article seems proof enough that NF couldn't get any of the big boys of Indian telly...namely KSG,GC and even KVB for that matter which is why they are auditioning the actors mentioned in the article...they have zero recognition or fan following when compared to VD 🤔.
why would they take such back to back risks with the show??first a 20 yr leap,next VD's exit and now a 'nobody' opp DD (sorry no offence to the actors being auditioned)?? they may be good actors but some of them don't even look good enough to play superstars!!!
Do you all think DD would have stuck around in this show had she not been bound by a contract with Colors for another year and a half?? this show is clearly on its way out...real soon.
Bahnni, from a recent iv I heard of VD, it seems pairs are not repeated in TV shows. From my very- very limited knowledge, its seems DD has worked with both KSG (not romantically) and GC. So, there are strikes against them to start with. KVB is another story but then he has mostly enacted negative roles. If rumors are to be believed, the news of KVB paired opposite DD set another round of twitter fury unleashed on NF... 😆 by DD fans. Dunno if the KVB news was true or the twitter ablaze set NF thinking coz the fan base left for this show post leap is DD fan base.
VD wasn't as popular when MEIEJ began compared to where he is now. He has come a long way in terms of acting and PR. Having handled this scenario before, I don't think NF is worrying too much on that front considering they believe (Mehul Chopra's dialogue) that script is the ultimate winner. If they believed in actors, NF would not have taken the step of removing their popular lead! Having said that, I do get the feeling NF is counting on DD's fans to watch the show going forward.
DD has repeatedly said that not even BW can lure her away from MEIEJ. She seems fairly committed being she is considered the face of Colors, her successful stint in JDJ, her immense popularity in winning over Deepika and Kareena and more stints such as Mission Sapne. I didn't follow this story, but didn't Pratyusha B. break her contract with Colors while doing BV?
