| Durgesh Nandini's countdown begins! | |||
| Sony's reality show Bigg Boss is slated for a wrap up by the end of the week. So, what's going to be replacing this much talked about show? Speculations are rife that Shobhana Desai's Durgesh Nandini is being considered for the 10 pm slot. The promos of the show are currently on air.
Durgesh Nandini is adapted from Bankimchandra Chattopadyay's first novel by the same name published in 1865 that has earlier been made into a Bengali and a Hindi film as well. The show was in the news around two years ago, but somehow the project got shelved. In order to get the latest on the current developments, we spoke to Anupam Bhattacharya, who essays an important character on the show. He says, "We're currently shooting for the show and all I can say is that it is slated for release in the coming weeks. I cannot reveal much about it, though I am enjoying myself thoroughly." The buzz goes that many actors were considered but then have been replaced. Adds Tasneem Sheikh, who was considered for the negative lead in the show, "I was approached by the production house to play the vamp. I even shot the pilot with them but was later informed that I have been replaced." Same has been the fate of Mihir Mishra who was also approached by the production house.
