Shantha I called Sagnik today, he mentioned u!! 😉 Purvi I called him to put forth ur request but he can't start the omnibus from the beginning, there is a legal issue that a show can't be shown from the beginning when its still running. Only if the show ends or stops for some reason then they can show it right from the beginning.
Ok he was highly impressed with all of us. He said u all can't even imagine what a big achievement u all have acquired. I cc'ed my reply to Uday y'day & he was zapped to see such a big response from Uday. He said usually Uday doesn't write more than 1 line but u got such a big response from him!! I said Sagnik he didn't write it ofcourse his secretary must have & he said yes but his signature at the end of the mail says it came from him. U all have reached to the top most person, # 1 in the company & that is no small matter. Even my boss couldn't believe his eyes when I told him about it. Congratulated us & I said yeah but its all for nothing.
He also said if the new show does badly with TRP's less than 1 & KDM still goes strong in the afternoon slot then there might be some decision changes. SP thinks KDM will do well in any slot because of its strong fan base, so afternoon too it will sail through smoothly! I told him how will it if the audience r missing at that time?? But anyway SP will not change their stance I guess they will move ahead as they have pre-planned. He said it openly. He had a meeting with the Indian programming team today.
Oh & the repeat telecast of KDM in the weekend will take 4 weeks or so to start showing here. Don't make it official or anything but he assured me he will, he will sit with his programming team as well to sort out the programming here in USA.
