Mumbai Mirror looking'07 ahead

Small screen, big EXPECTATIONS

Couch potatoes can get set to aim their remote control at…

Kaun Banega Crorepati

Will the 'King Khan' brand emerge victorious once again because of KBC? If the current on-air promos are anything to go by, the show might just be bigger and better than the previous version. Against all apprehensions, that the new version's ratings will not match those of the previous versions hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, the sponsors are keeping their fingers crossed for the biggest telly event of 2007. With the biggest stars of Bollywood- Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan being at loggerheads, this is just the opportunity for SRK to prove that he can step into Big B's shoes, as he proved in the remake of Don.

The Biggest Loser

After Amitabh Bachchan and SRK, it's the time for macho man, Suniel Shetty to make his television debut. The Biggest Loser is an adaptation of the popular American reality show of the same name. Suniel Shetty will be anchoring the show which will deal with health, fitness and motivation. The actor is the obvious choice, thanks to his bulging biceps and wittiness quotient. The contestants in the show will be overweight people who lose flab under the guidance of a celebrity trainer to get a healthy body and hefty prize money.

Kis Rishtey Se…

After all the overdose of 'K' factor with Kahaani.., Kyunki…, Kasamh Se and others, here comes another K…. The show is Kis Rishtey Se. Rumoured to be based on a popular novel; the script will be penned by Bollywood biggies. The new soap has Shabbir Ahluwalia and Karan Wahi as male leads and Ronit Roy in a cameo. The story revolves around two stepsisters and the turmoil in their life. The female lead is yet to be finalised. The show will be targetted at urban audiences.

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa

This is one of the few music shows that has been running successfully for almost a decade. The show has strived to be a platform for budding talents through its platforms Challenge 2005 and Ek Main Aur Ek Tu. This year, music lovers will see the same show with almost the same flavour but without its director Gajendra Singh.

Jeete Hain Jiske Liye

This is one show that everyone is looking forward to. After Kora Kaagaz, Surabhi girl Renuka Shahane is making a comeback in Jeete Hain Jiske Liye. The serial has been much talked about as it is the comeback vehicle of Renuka after a decade. The show has also been in the news for the legal notice sent to Balaji alleging that the generation leap in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki is similar to the concept. The show is an adaptation of an international telenovella La Madratssa.

Viruddh

After Thodi Si Zameen, Thoda Sa Aasman, here comes another soppy saga from producer Smriti Irani. Writer Kamalesh Pandey of Rang De Basanti fame is writing the script and the shooting is going to start from early February. The cast is an amalgamation of the choicest and the best talents. The new serial has big telly stars like Sushant Singh making his comeback on TV, Ashwini Kalsekar, Vikram Gokhale, Achint Kaur, Govind Namdev and Smriti irani herself.

Nach Baliye and Jhalak Dikhhla Ja

Rocking the nation big time with their dance moves and the respective winners, both Nach Baliye and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa are expected to come up with another season of popcorn entertainment. Both Sony and Star One are keen on airing the next season of the shows. If the insiders are to be believed, things are going to be bigger and better next time with big celebrities dancing to popular tunes.

Durgesh Nandini

Sony is toying with the idea of a daily soap named Durgesh Nandini, an adaptation of the celebrated Bengali novel by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee by the same name. It's a period drama which revolves around a village girl, who is named heir to a large estate, when her father (who is a businessman) passes away. She has to shift to the city to not only manage the fortunes but also deal with a family who is alien to her. The family is also hostile to her as she is the custodian to the entire business empire and has turned up in their lives out of the blue. Although the cast is yet to be finalised, it is rumoured that Tassnim Sheikh, Anupam Bhattacharya and Shubhaavi will find their way into the serial. The hunt is still on for the lead actor. The show will be produced by Shobhna Desai and it will be aired on the prime time band.

Extreme MakeOver

After playing the ugly duckling in Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin, followed by her winning score in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Mona Singh is going to host the reality show Extreme Makeover. It is a formatted show, where people born with defects or who had accidents will be undergoing surgery in the show. As the actress underwent a makeover as Jassi, she is the apt choice for anchoring the show. Mona has been saying that the show will target people who are not able to lead normal lives because of the defects and who cannot afford the surgery. There will be a panel of doctors and dentists and the crew would go to the houses of participants let audiences know the 'before and after' stories and effects.

I'm looking forward to EM and Jeete Hai..... 😊

I wish Mona would do Durgesh Nandini. A period drama would be perfect to bring out her "old world charm" as Archana put it in JDJ. 😳
