Just days after the news of Saroj Khan’s
contract with Nachle Ve coming to an end and the hunt on for another choreographer
now comes the news that Imagine’s flagship show is being yanked off. This did
come as a surprise as the show was a top runner initially. It was only recently
that the TRPs dipped and the channel was compelled to end its deal with SOL, the
production house. We
called up Fazila from SOL to confirm the news and all she said was, “Please ask
the channel about it.”
The host and the mentor of the show Saroj
Khan finally confirmed the news by stating that, “Yes, the show is going off air.”
Our khabroo informs that, “The contract with Sarojji expires on
August 15 and even the TRP ratings of the show are very poor thus the channel
has decided to scrap it. The buzz in the industry was that the production house
was looking out for another chorographer in the place of Saroj Khan but unfortunately
they were not able to get one and thus agreed to pull the show off air.The channel
has taken a call on this.” Saroj Khan also said that, “The production
is planning something on the similar lines after this show goes off air.”
So will she be the part of the new venture? “I really don’t know about
that,” she concludes. We tried contacting Shailja Kejriwal, EVP-
Content, NDTV Imagine but she was unavailable for comment.
