Article - Sony ready to axe itself?

Smriti Irani, who plays the main lead in the serial Virrudh and also produces it, has been put on notice to raise the TRPs of her show within four weeks time. Currently, the show has the TRP of 1.22, which is very poor by all standards. Tragedy of situation is that despite of being a good story and presentation, it has not found favour with the television viewing public who continue to patronize the saas bahu shows.

As a source reveals, ' They have been asked to keep a strict quality check and to better their standards of production. Even Sony knows that the show has very good potential. As every channel wants their shows to deliver good TRPs, Sony wants them to produce good results as early as possible. They have been given one month to deliver better TRPs.'

It may be recalled that Anuj Saxena's Kulvaddhu and Renuka Shahane's Jeete Hain Jiske Liye were recently removed by Sony due to poor TRP ratings and now perhaps the day of reckoning has arrived for Smriti's production too.
