in comparison with the best in the world.


Rumours are that Ekta is set to make her next film on the TV industry, a world she knows too well. According to a Balaji source, "It would be a no-holds-barred expose. The film will show the desperate measures adopted by production companies and channels to boost TRPs. Ekta won't spare anyone, not even herself. She will also be a part of the plot. It's about the power that the home medium generates."

But the plot's lynchpin will be the alleged brutal murder of the 27-year-old creative head of Synergy Adlabs, Neeraj Grover by a television actress Maria Susairaj and her boyfriend Jerome Mathew.

Says the source, "Ekta has been rigorously reading on the Grover murder case and decided to make that incident the focal point of the film. It will be about the ruthless ambitions and aspirations that define the Indian television industry."

The cast will comprise mostly television actors but will be directed by a filmmaker with experience of the television industry and its working patterns. Ekta refuses to comment on the issue, but a source close to her says, "It's an idea that excited Ekta immediately. What she liked most is doing an expose on a world that she knows just too well. Ekta is tired of doing feature films that simply blow up in her face. The expose on television will be made on a completely authentic level and in a gritty style."
