Yes the news is true and has been circulating for some time. I think they have done a promo and banner shoot for it too I think?
The news is, it will start in Feb sometime. Hopefully the first week. Om and Rudra will be the leads of this slot and they will probably get the chance to develop their stories the correct way.
This show may be for several months to get the story back up to speed so they can move the rest of the plot. Lets see how they go? This is the result of all the efforts of the fans who wanted justice to be done to the OmRu stories. But more than anything, it is a big endorsement for Kunal and Leenesh that the channel beleives in their abilities and the appeal of their characters, even if Gul didnt give a damn about it.
Trust me if this was Zee she would have got away with just showing a Vamp fest for as long as the show ran. (Because that is what happened with her last show on Zee, until the show was ruined beyond repair and cancelled). Therefore I give ALL credit to the channel SP for this move, because if it was up to Gul this would never happen. That I am sure of!
