Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, the popular show on Star One, is taking a break despite being granted an extension of 26 episodes. Says producer JD Majethia, "We are not taking that extension now. We want to renovate the sets and bring in different elements into the story." The channel and producers were hoping that their quest for Roshesh's bride would throw up a good actress and that they could continue the series with this new angle. But that didn't happen because none of the applicants fitted the role. Though they were not short in enthusiasm they were found sadly lacking in histrionics. And so the need for a short sabbatical. The series will be back with the same team after three months. In the interim, Star One will be airing 16 of Best Of Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai episodes daily, starting March 6 at 8.30 pm.
Hats Off Production is also producing another social thriller for Star, the shooting for which commences in two weeks. Majethia is however unwilling to divulge any details about this hush-hush project.
