If they have planned all the different layers with which they would like to reach the main theme or destination, then they must have planned about their timings, too. I mean, Paro's first wedding, Rudra's background & and attachment with the village, Paro & Rudra's previous encounters (if any) and then the dynamic of Paro & Rudra's relationship - which again will have different phases..
All these layers will have side events/stories, which i believe, are also going to have significant screen space ... all the side actors are quite famous and established ones.
So all these are going to take more than one year definitely.. So if everything goes well, i am pretty sure this contract will be extended for one more year..
And then going beyond 2 years??? i don't think that would be good idea for a versatile actor like sanaya!
Very true ... I like the way you spelled it out and you are very right. They do some tweaking based on circumstances (like DD going for JDJ) ... but on the whole they seem to have a clear picture of what they want to do for the entire duration of the show, and not just a vague idea. This I say based on MB only ... haven't watched DDEJ at all. But even there, the fact that they are prepared to take a leap and restart the show with a new generation, means they do have a story in mind to carry forward, which they did not show with the earlier couple for whatever reason.
And just the premise on which the hate between Paro and Rudra starts is very intense ... he causes the death of her husband, after she has already lost her parents to the same army ... she seems to be in cahoots with arms smugglers who are the enemy of the country and therefor his enemy ... how can either of them overcome this and move forward? It will take a very long time!
If they have good parallel stories and side stories in place, then the length doesn't matter to me ... once the show starts dragging and the story goes haywire, its better to wind it up. But till then, I'm happy to watch Sanaya on screen.
