Didn't Anjum F also work in the other channel? How is it different from Nach Baliye? How is it different from Manit J's new show?
But but
They were performing in the diwali event in kkb?
Dear it depends on what clause is in their contract. Also contracts get renewed every so often, so the clauses can be changed in a contract by the channel on each renewal, so a channel can renew a contract with an actor and if they want they can add a clause of exclusivity for the faces/ leads of their show (meaning they can only work exclusively with that channel only during the course of the contract being in place), or add a clause permitting an actor to be able to work on another channel, especially if it is an actor who doesn't have as much screen time as a lead actor usually does or who isn't the direct face of the show.
Preeran are the face of the show and the other actors do not the same level of screen time as preeran does, so that's why the other actors most likely don't have an exclusivity clause in their contracts.
I think manit probably did have exclusivity clause in his contract at first and even anjum, but with time as the show has changed in terms of story and whom is getting more screen time and with each passing year the contracts needing renewal, the channel must have decided to change the clauses in manit's contract. Also an actor can debate clauses in contracts before signing and can offer the channel alternative arrangements and proposals too if they have the leverage to do so, but once a contract is signed they have no choice but to stick to those clauses.
I have heard on ITV contracts are often up for renewal after just 6 months, depending on duration of the contract, and most of the times a contract runs out after 1 year for an actor. All contracts are not equally created.
@Bold-They can perform easily on another show if it is on the same channel. Exclusivity refers to working across different channels, not different shows on a single channel.
