A month ago, it was rumoured that top soap producers, Ekta Kapoor and Rajan Shahi, were vying for space on Star Plus for their upcoming shows.
Now, the buzz is that there has been a clash between them over the coveted 10 pm slot on the channel. Kapoor's, Balaji Telefilms and Shahi's, Director's Kut have been working on their respective new shows and both want to telecast their show in the prime time slot.
When asked, Shahi denied that he has been asking for that slot. "I was informed 20 days before Bidaai went on air about the slot allotted to it. Likewise for Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. It's now become more of a lucky charm for me not to approach the channel, especially Star Plus, for certain slots. I think their programming team is well versed with how to slot what kind of shows. So, I don't need to approach them for this," he says.
Prime time, prime space
Kapoor says that she's not fighting with Shahi over any slot either, and will be happy with the channel's decision to slot her show where they feel is apt. "I go a long way with Star Plus. We have never fought over these things and we never will. I have always been accommodating. I ensure that I adhere to what the channel asks," adds Kapoor, who once ruled the 10 pm slot with Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii.
