Boogie Woogie' to go international

The show 'Boggie Woogie' (Sony) was one of the first dance shows to hit the television screens. The presence of judge and host Javed Jaffrey and the sweet and sour interaction between hosts and producers Naved Jaffrey and Ravi Behl have only added to the entertainment value of the talent show.

Now, there are plans to launch the show internationally as well. "Yes, there are plans to take 'Boogie Woogie' abroad. By God's grace, the show is doing very well here," says Javed.

Javed further reasons, "If we can ape other shows or even start Indian versions of international series by taking their franchise, why can't we take our shows to an international level?"      

Apart from the show, Javed is busy with his movies, the latest one being 'Dhamaal' where he shares screen space with Sanjay Dutt.

"It's sheer modesty on Sanju's part to share equal screen space with other actors. He has no complexes. Not all actors are open to this," says Javed who feels his dancing skills and comic flair are God's gifts.

"I had it in my genes as well, though I had to work a lot on my comic timing. Watching my dad (veteran comedian Jagdeep) in his movies was another learning influence," says Javed.

Speaking on his brother, Javed says, "Naved is totally involved with 'Boogie Woogie'. He is more of a party person. I spend my free time at home with my kids. But Naved is young, single and ready to mingle," laughs Javed.

Incidentally, 'Boogie Woogie' has been on air for almost 10 years.

Strike Called Off

After 10 days the producers' strike has finally been called off. And all telly fans can heave a sigh of relief as the production houses will resume filming tonight itself so that fresh episodes can be aired from Monday onwards. We spoke to the vice president of the producer's association Dheeraj Kumar who heads Creative Eye a production house.


"For us the first good news is that the strike has been called off with appropriate decision. There were two worker unions involved in this issue. And now everyone have agreed over two things - job security meaning they will get insurance facilities as well as the fact that they will be under a one month contract which was not the case initially. Earlier they used to loose their jobs in 4-5 days without any notice or anything. However this will not happen after they will sign the contract," informs Dheeraj.
 
"Second thing is the hike issue. Now we have spoken to them about the current economical situation and they have agreed on a small rise in the percentage of hikes which will be 10 to 15 %," adds Kumar.
 
"The next issue was that the producers wanted a hike in their contract price from channels as well. So now an agreement has been brought about where they will first reduce their production cost … like if one episode was taking 3 days to shoot now the production house will try to finish that episode in one and half day so that is how they themselves will not face any burden and they will not ask for more money to broadcasters also."

The shooting for all the shows will start from tomorrow (Thursday November 20 2008) and the channels will air new episodes from Monday (November 24 2008).
