Call it coincidence or just strange timing. Just as Ektaa Kapoor announced her first venture 'Khwaish' (airing on July 16) on Sony TV after two years, the channel's creative head Sandiip Sikcand submitted his resignation yesterday.
Having moved to Sony from being the creative head of Balaji Telefilms in August last year, Sandiip will serve a month's notice. Shows that had been in the pipeline long before he joined were launched with much fanfare in the last nine months. These include 'Kaajal Sabki Aankhon Mein Bassi', 'Bigg Boss', 'Kulvaddhu', 'Jeete Hain Jiske Liye' and 'Virrudh'.
Sikcand has often been surrounded by controversies whether it was regarding his conflict with ex-boss Ektaa or with producers Tony and Deeya Singh, Smriti Z Iraani and Anuj Saxena (they produce shows for Sony) or even the latest rumour - that he was sacked by the channel.
Talk is that Sandiip has many offers from upcoming TV channels and films. According to sources, he has left for an official assignment in Delhi and was unavailable for comment.
Sources even suggest that Anshuman Swami, CEO of Applause Entertainment (co-producer of 'Virrudh' on Sony) has also put in his papers on July 11
