Zee is all set to blacklist nine actors of the popular daily Maayka and the production house (Classic Productions) very soon. Recently Zee TV sacked the production house of Maayka, Classic Films, and handed over the show to Creative Eye. Soon after, the actors and the production house called for a press conference to protest against the channel's decision.

The actors who have been blacklisted include Sudhir Pandey, Neha Bamb, Nandita Puri, Arti Singh, Pankaj Berry, Vinit Raina, Mohini Sharma, Urmila Kanitkar and Vikrant.

Reportedly the actors will be sued to the tune of crores of rupees each for defaming the channel and its executives. Ashish Kaul, executive VP, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd, confirmed that they were thinking of taking action against the actors and the production house. He said, "We are thinking on those lines. The production house and the actors had called for a press conference defaming the executives. This was simply uncalled for. The production house should not have used the artistes to speak against the channel. We have decided that the artistes who create problems for the new production house will surely be blacklisted. We will also blacklist the production house across the entertainment industry and take the case to the Indian Broadcasting Federation. We can't take this defamation of a channel lying down. We on our part have done things according to the contract and have the authority to change the production house. What ever has happened has been very unfortunate."

Says Nandita Puri aka Moni in support of the production house and the actors, "We have been working for Maayka since day one and the serial had taken off on a good note. The TRPs were progressively going up and the production house took good care of us. Initially the Executive Producers from the channel put a lot of pressure and wanted to change the director, re-shoot the scenes and complained endlessly. All this affected our productivity. The production house and the Executive Producers had a lot of problems and this internal politics was getting to us. So all of us actors made a request to the channel in support of the production house. The request did not help and the programming officer called up saying if the artistes did not co-operate they would simply blacklist us."
