Yesterday (2 March 2013) media was abuzz with the news about Contiloe Telefilm gearing up for a new historical drama Bharat Ka Veer Putra- Maharana Pratap on Sony Entertainment Television.

The Channel announced about their new venture by releasing a press release however the twist in the tale is that the makers of popular mythological saga Devon Ke Dev.. Mahadev (Triangle Films Company) are on their verge to launch their version of Maharana Pratap soon."


Shocking? Isn't it? Reliable sources from the industry informed us, "Even before Contiloe Telefilms' could get started with their version of Maharana Pratap, producer of Mahadev Nikhil Sinha has already begun working on the same epic saga. The casting for his show is already half way and is planning to launch the show post IPL.

Another source from the industry inform that Abhimanyu Singh of Contiloe Telefilm's has been working on the show since 2011 and had even submitted a pilot to one of the popular GEC's however things didn't work out and the show never saw the day light. But this time everything seems to be in place and the reworking on the project. The casting for Abhimanyu's Maharana Pratap is currently on.

We too hear that the research work on each characters and construction of the set is almost done for Nikhil Sinha's Maharana Pratap whereas the casting for the project will get locked by 20th of April, 2013 and it will be aired on Life OK.
Abhimanyu Singh states, "I wanted to make Maharana Pratap for a long time now and it's a pleasure to come up with the show on a larger scale with different approach altogether. The show will be a daily soap and not a weekly."

When asked on Triangle Films Company making the same project, Abhimanyu cleared, "I don't have any idea or I don't know anything about such project coming up."

We also spoke to Nikhil Sinha Producer of Triangle Film Company, who said, "Yes, I have been working on the project on the line the great Maharana Pratap since quite some time now and we have heard about Contiloe Telefilm's venture too. But nothing can stop us and we will definitely come up with the show. So what if the plot is same it's how you make, conceive and vision it at a project."

Well, only time will tell who will win the final battle?

Two Maharana Prataps at the same time???
ugh!
not a good idea-AT ALL
since both the shows will be big budgeted,the amount of loss incured will be tremendous!

this is like the Bhagat Singh Phenomena that happened a few years back-atleast 3 versions of the same movie in on year released and only one worked!
the other two flopped!

i think either party should pull back-cos either only one version will work,or both versions will tank...
this is scary!

Sony already is showing trailer for Contiloe's one ..now enough food for historylover like me..but 2 show on same concept how is it possible??

well contiloe is always good in action flecked historical shows like jhansi ki rani and veer shivaji..

and triangle is good in creating effects..

i think contiloe is more reliable in historical case..let's see

btw Rana Pratap doesn't have love story..and contiloe is not good in that either..and triangle is best in romance..so hmmm

yeah that's great but m really worried abt two same show being on air on different channels in same time ..i don't think its very good idea..contiloe has already brought it..

our history and ancient literature so rich..i wish Nikhil could bring different historical aspect..
like Imperial Guptas etc...
