| Source Mumbai mirror.... | Ranjib Mazumder | | | | Second time lucky? Sudeepa Singh | Kaun Banega Crorepati will go off air from mid-April only to be replaced by a surprise package from Fox Television Network and yet another Balaji soap. Says a source in Star, "Star has planned this multi-crore gamble only to get its primetime viewership back. Of late, Zee has suddenly become popular among the audiences with shows like Saat Phere and Kasamh Se. This has been a challenge for Star and with KBC's current season going off air, Star has planned two big shows as replacements. While one will be a Balaji show, the other will be a Fox Television Network presentation. Apparently, the Balaji soap will be yet another family drama, but the Fox show, tentatively titled Meri Awaaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni, promises to be different. Reportedly, it is going to be the first musical drama on Indian television."
The source continues, "As far as the casting for the new Balaji show is concerned, they are yet to finalise the actors, since it has just got the approval from the channel. The leading actors will be Balaji loyalists for sure. On the other hand, the most probable hosts of the Fox show will be Sudeepa Singh, the actress who had debuted on the small screen with Kabhi To Nazar Milao and Sameer Sharma, who made his presence felt in shows like Dil Kya Chahta Hai and Kahaanii Ghar Ghar Kii."
When contacted, Shailija Kejriwal, senior creative director of Star, said, "Yes, the current season of KBC is going to end in April. We have the rights to air KBC for five years. We have signed Shah Rukh Khan for two years. But since Shah Rukh also has his prior commitments for films this year, we will be coming up with the next season early next year. We have more or less finalised the two new shows which will be replacing KBC and will officially announce it soon." | | | |
