Ok then why did you take up the project in first place if you are in cost cutting mode. Also there are various ways to improve ROI. MB they launched dubbed versions in almost all regional channels. Why not such a option was persued in EHT case also.
Dubbed versions are anyways watched. They have their sister channels in Star Vijay, Asianet etc. If not Asianet, Asianet plus. I am damn sure EHT would get a real good audience in south.
Star actually didn't do anything post Aug to promote this serial and it is the story's merit it has reached where it is.
MB also they did multiple unwanted intrusions. Though I had watched MB for the brilliant performance of SRJ, Pooja Sharma, Aham Sharma , Shahir Sheikh etc.. SP telling show will end in June then due to TRP giving extensions I guess the directors cut some important aspects and then dragged some unnecessary sequences. And MB was among Top 5 for most part of its run, even moving to top 2, top 3 positions continuously. Still they were intrusive.

I have a theory abt why SP is shutting down a successful TRP garnering show like EHT so hurriedly.
Its because of Finance, cost-cutting measures.

The 4 main actors of EHT are established, experienced and EXPENSIVE actors...Ayub Khan, Simone Singh, Vatsal Seth and Sanjeeda Shaikh.
The first 3 have acted in Bollywood, Ayub and Simone are veteran TV actors, Sanjeeda has acted in numerous serials and won NB 3 with her husband.

So they all must be charging a lot per day. Now lets look at the show which is replacing EHT.

The main leads are almost unknown, never seen the hero before and the girl did Pihu's role in BALH and wasnt at all popular.

So obviously that serial is a low budget show...although made by Mittals.

Star Plus is definitely cost cutting...look at the new shows its recently launched, all unknown faces, like Suhani si Ek ladki (all new amateur actors), Nisha aur uskey cousins (unknown but good actors)

Star Plus doesnt want famous faces, because they charge more money per day. EHT is an expensive show not because of fancy sets but because of the famous actors.
So SP is ending EHT in a hurry, they want to save MONEY!


they can go for cost cutting if the project is not giving them any profit but here eht is doing well and there are many channels an many shows whose ratings are too low but they don't just take them off air. even if they have good actors i don't think any of them are charging bomb from star and they have even won awards for their performances at ita what more does star want? new actors can save them money but whether they would be good in the performance part is something that only time can answer. their new shows are doing average only

eht does come in tamil..there was an article that stated that they were dubbing it in tamil for their audiences. star only promotes dabh and sns the most out of all their shows.

MB was my most fav show on star and here star's new actor stroke had played out brilliantly coz the actors chosen for the show were brilliant in their performances. it was their acting abilities which pulled the show even when some of their distortions were unbearable.
i luv pooja and srj too.

Star Plus has become a cheapskate, penny-pinching channel. They dont promote their shows, they prefer low budget shows with unknown actors to big budget productions.

No wonder nowadays we see EHT actresses repeating their outfits. I bet SP cut their budget.

As for Mahabharat, its a religious epic, it has massive universal appeal all over India so it would do well dubbed in any language.
Its not the same with EHT which has an unusual and bold theme.

Many did it on social networks. Sent mails too. But nothing happened.

Though I do hope for new season. Why should that be a problem for channel? But then doubt availability of actors.

from startin it is running so good. still don't understand why SP is doing this. i felt like this is one show where we can see women power in both good and bad and diffrent from regular nonsence. at the end even spoiled durga's dressing too. before her dresses were awsome.
