'Mahabharat' gets an extension
A still from the show
It's almost an industry norm to extend fiction shows that are popular, but how far can you stretch a mythological show which has a definite storyline?
Well, you will find out as you watch Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Mahabharat, which has been extended by 100 episodes. The telly show, which airs five days a week currently, will be telecast six days a week from February.
Confirms the producer, "While writing the series, we felt the need for another 100 episodes, as there are many aspects the viewers would like to see." But how can you extend a show with a fixed storyline? "Hindi shows don't have a fixed number of episodes, but we were very clear that we will make a limited series. I won't let the quality suffer due to this," he says.
