After a bad bull run of soaps, Sony will
now offer two Balaji soaps to viewers. Ekta
is all set to produce two new shows for the channel, namely Krazy Kiya Re
and Kambakht Ishq. Both the channel and the production house are banking
on these upcoming soaps to lift their fortunes. Though
Sanjay Upadhyay, Creative Head Fictions Sony, remained tightlipped about the shows
but said, “Balaji is making a show for us to fill in our prime-time slot, but
it will be too early to divulge any details as everything is in the initial stages.”
Vikas Gupta, Creative Head Balaji, confirms the news and says, “Balaji
is making Krazy Kiya Re and Kambakht Ishq for Sony. We haven’t got
the telecast date for Krazy Kiya Re from the channel. But it will
be a daily which will air at 8:00 pm. There will be new faces along with Balaji’s
loyalists but I can’t reveal anything about the cast as everything is under wraps.”
Talking about Balaji’s other show, Kambakht Ishq, Vikas says, “This
will be one of the biggest shows on Sony from Balaji. It will be bigger in terms
of infrastructure, techniques, looks and the budget. There has been a national
hunt for faces for different characters of the show. It is going to be a youth-centric
show and not the regular saas-bahu saga.” When asked if the
production house is trying to rope in Anita Hassanandani and Pulkit
Samrat, Vikas says, “Anita was considered for the role but there is
no development on that front as yet. As far as Pulkit is considered, he has been
trying hard to return to Balaji, but there is no returning for him.” When
contacted, Anita said, “I am not aware of this show.” But Pulkit
remained unavailable.
