SP forced to acknowledge Barun power

My first reaction to SP disclaimer was anger

yes they have complimented him indirectly.


Even TRP audience have seen such replacements ,so this tagline will surely raise questions from their end.

Thats what I felt too... I refuse to believe that SP can put forth such a disclaimer without Barun's knowledge and permission. he can sue the channel if he feels wronged by them.coz the reason they put is not right.Looking at the SPL event , it was evident the kind of massive fan following the guy has overseas from where SP gets a lot of revenue..So no matter how hard its for people to accept , the fact is Barun Sobti and ASR are synonimous and without him the show is nothing. He has become larger than life with this iconic character and relacements would not have worked. I dont know about how earlier replacements worked but now audiences have become more aware of how to exercise consumer rights..and with a show like IPK with such a phenominal fanfollowing they can not take a chance.. the reasons for him leaving are disputable..coz I personally dont believe that he will want to leave television for movies where he has no foothold as of now..lets see, the channel and fans have given a royal treatment in the UK event and now acknowledging that they can not run the show without him..that gives me hope of getting SaRun back onscreen on the same channel with season2 or another show..I'l be waiting..hope the wait isnt too long

Whatever the reasons for Barun leaving, such a disclaimer is unprecedented. It clearly indicates the phenomenon this show and Barun has become

I never doubted that.. its unprecedented but not rash..a lot of thought has gone behind it and I am sure Barun has been consulted.. Unlike what it seems he has the channels support

AGREE WITH U

I think it helped him in a way because they know who he is and they show is nothing without him
