The winner takes it all: Ekta Kapoor

The long list of actors, producers and directors who have languished and finally faded, after breaking away noisily from Ekta Kapoor, grows. Now, the biggest buzz doing the rounds in the TV industry is that Sandiip Sikcand's astonishing powers at Sony are now being cut to size.

And one of the master-stroke maneuvers by the Sony bosses is to bring Ekta Kapoor, the television tycoon whose company Sikcand left in the hope of greener pastures in Sony to take over the entire afternoon slab. Although Ekta isn't talking about this massive deal, a well-paced source from Sony says, "Ekta is currently working on four soaps for the afternoon band. She has been handed over the entire afternoon slab which

Sandiip Sikcand

Sony now wants to build as a separate band. Ekta's first condition on being made the offer was that she won't have any interference from Sony personnel including Sikcand. In fact she offered to take over the afternoon slot and work on it. She has worked on various concepts and zeroed in on four dailies for Sony. Ekta's afternoon slot starts at the end of April of beginning of May."

While refusing to comment Ekta did say, "Right now I'm not at liberty to talk. Let me just say that wherever I go, I'm not out to threaten anyone."

Will Sandiip Sikcand be as sporting about the Ekta invasion on what he thought was his playing-field? Now one just has to wait and watch!
