Sony's Nai Dopahar hasn't quite turned out the way it was expected to. Not only did Star Plus continue to rule the prime slots in the afternoon, none of Sony's serials (Rishton Ki Dor and Kabhie To Nazar Milao) could strike a chord with viewers despite their best efforts. If the grapevine is to be believed, they are even planning to abruptly end both serials that were launched with a lot of fanfare. If this happens, it could be quite a loss of face for Sony -- this was one of their biggest launches in the recent past involving stars like Urvashi Dholakia and Anuj Saxena. Well, you lose some to gain some!
Jhalak Dikhlaja is already scoring a number of brownie points over Star's Nach Baliye this time.
Prerna at it againPrerna (aka Shweta Tiwari) is not one to give up. She tried her luck in Hindi films earlier, but none were successful. Now, she is giving the big screen another shot ' but with a Bhojpuri film. Titled Hamar Sainya Hindustani, the muhurat of the film took place at a posh Mumbai club last Sunday. Shweta is paired opposite Ravi Kishan in the film that will be directed by Mohanji Prasad, and produced by Raja Chaudhary, Nandvani and Rajiv Singh. Could this be the hit Shweta was waiting for all along?
