Not without my boys
It's a well-known fact that Ektaa Kapoor's favourite actors at Balaji Telefilms include Ejaz Khan and Iqbal Khan. Coincidentally, both are out of Balaji at the moment.
And though Iqbal has no immediate plans of returning, Ejaz will return after he finishes shooting for Pritish Nandy Communications' film 'Meerabai, Not Out' (opposite Mandira Bedi).
Ektaa says, "Ejaz was supposed to go to Dubai for our new show there. But because of his film commitment he couldn't. But he's most certainly doing our next show." She adds, "We're working on three shows right now. Hopefully, Ejaz will be in 'Kasturi'. We'll decide after his film is completed."
In the meanwhile, Ektaa's other favourite actor Hiten Tejwani is going great guns with Balaji. Not only is he an integral part of 'Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' (Star
Plus), Ektaa has roped him in for two new Balaji serials.
Ektaa says, "Hiten is already doing 'Kyunkii'. He'll be seen as Anupam in 'Karam Apna Apna' (Star Plus) and as Anurag in 'Kasauti Zindagi Kay' (Star Plus). Yash Tonk is the other hero in 'Karam…'."
As for Iqbal, she says, "Yes, we do miss him at Balaji. But the show must go on."
