Colors and Star Bharat is revamping it's network by bringing in new shows. Star Plus won't scrap shows.till Colors and Zee ramp up their numbers. Yes there is a dire need for talented directors so Hemant may have got new offers. It's a know facts that production houses poach technical staff.
On SM there is one show which making the rounds. It's named Virodhi and Sharad Malhotra is approached for it. Yeh colors ka show hai. Fans are mixing it up and thinking it's going to replace on air shows on SP.
Any which ways the 6.30 pm slot, won't get 2.9 types trps. It's very difficult in the current scenario.
In Mumbai the lockdown will be lifted in phases and provisions markets are going to reopen. Many trp aunts are going to go shopping post 6 in the evening.
Siku is a small time producer, uska budget tight hai. Sometimes cast and crew are signed on the basis of commission, there is a base rate agreed mutually, if trp increases then you have to increase pay scales also.
It's also possible that Hemant Sir has got better offers. For that matter even Sai whose main domain will be Telugu Content would have got projects.
Unless Star wants to convert all its shows to SNS2 or Upma. If it does the prime time ones will loose it's essence.
