Zee abandons Maa

it's been barely three months since it launched and Zee TV is all set to axe Shakuntalam Telefilms' Maa . The show stars Amarr Upadhyay , Vineet Raina and Chitrapamaa and airs at 7:00 PM. According to sources it is the low TRPs that led to the premature death of the show. The show will be aired last on 17 April.

Vineet Raina confirms the news but denies that the show's fate has anything to do with the TRPs. The actor says, "We were informed by the producer that the show is ending on 17th March. It was shocking to hear the news as we are doing a decent job considering the time slot it is airing in. The show has been quite consistent in its performance and hence I don't think TRPs can be a reason for the show's pull off."

For his numerous fans on Tellychakkar, Vineet says, "Don't be depressed as I would come back with a bang. I tried to do something different this time with Maa. I wanted to test myself by playing a bad guy. And I think with the amount of appreciation I have received from my fans on Tellychakkar, I am made to think that I have done a decent job. I will again take up something new and different this time."

We tried contacting Ajay Bhalwankar, Programming Head Zee, but he remained unavailable.

Incidentally, this is the second Shakuntalam Telefilms show after Santaan that will be pulled off in a time span of two months. And if rumours are to be believed then the production house's other show Bandhan Saat Janmon Ka with Colosceum Media that airs on Colors may soon bite the dust.

Shyamasis Bhattacharya, co-producer of Shakuntalam Telefilms too remained unavailable.

Guys this is all politics ZEE IS IN BED WITH SOMEONE ELSE. So that production house paid more money for the slot. So Guys MAA is a great show, but money talks more than anything, So with false trp rating then the show goes off air for some other who is better 'in bed" with zee. Always disappointed in this channel always.

Shocked Yes when it was told to some of us by Ria who is close friends with Vineet Raina a few days ago. Since then we've emailed Zee and the Production house not to take off the air but to change the time slot. So as with anything Zee is determined to be stubborn and let sweet nice awesome shows go. So they as always never listen to the fans so again people why watch shows from them??. I stick with american serials...last longer and when I email them about something I see changes. True to fact I do. Indian channels like Zee why even get hooked on a show??? because it will all drop/cancel according to the channel itself....like buying off trps etc etc to make the show fall...ALL politics...I dont care what the trps say, it's all bogus crap. Zee is falling apart and they know it. Le'ts just say my family and friends everyone i pulled in to pay into zee to watch Maa, will pull out now....spreading the word....zee is very unfair to their viewers abroad in regds to everything. many fans writing in to change the time slot to make the show a success...but nothing...many wanted it in the usa to pull in more viewers on the forums but nothing....If they dont listen and help us then why should we then for them in making it. So dropping zee asap. I came and stayed for Vineet Raina and this show I started to like alot. Shame on the channel. 😡

Yeah Agreed.I'm very disapppointed that's all I can say. I do wish all the actors success and I wish to see them back soon on telly. Awesome group of people. Many new even the kids and they did a great job. We've emailed Zee and we will continue to email them. But as with the time slot, they do they own thing. Ignoring the fans and mainly lacking in common sense and good business knowledge...nothing new with zee. nothing new at all🤢🤢🤢

Vineet is right. TRPS are not the reason at all. It's all dealing in something else and that's the shame of it all. Sorry for the actors and crew of MAA. Time Slot killed it. When they were approached to change it due to helping the trps, they didn't which proved they wanted this to happen. OMG. Sick to know these people like killing great shows. No even helping the show nor the production house. So Sorry for the hard working actors especially the kids. I wish to see Vineet back again with a super hot avatar/role. He is a brilliant actor.

Full Agreement
Zeetv wanted this show to sink. Shame on the channel. When fans small or large approach you on suggestions to help their show. Then listen to them. 7PM was too soon for a show like this in india. Yet you place boring saas bahu crap on good time slots. Makes no sense this channel. Zee was determined to sink this show. Sick of this channel. Wish all the actors success elsewhere and wish to see Vineet Raina back very soon.

I feel so bad for all the actors mostly the kids and VVR. We all waited so long for him to be seen again in a show and now this happened. NOT FAIR. it would be nice to see him and choti in another show together.

Plainly People Zee Sucks. They're no longer the channel I loved when I used to watch it. NOW they're nothing but useless. I'm switching them off and keeping Star One. Wishing all the actors of MAA boat load of success. If Vineet Raina decides to comeback with Zee I will watch the show...otherwise all eyes on Star One/TV Asia for me and my crew. Can't stand Zee right now. I wish to see more of Vineet Raina. I hope he lands something on Star or Sony.
