The gossip market is already hot with talks about Balaji loyalist Cezanne Khan aka Anurag Basu opting out of Kasautii Zindagi Kay. And like many others who have taken this path, he too has been offered a plum project by Sandeep Sickand - a mega show on Sony opposite none other than Aamna Shariff.
It's also speculated that rival channel Zee has also been coaxing Cezzane, though he hasn't given his final nod to any. He's biding time till Mohram (auspicious reasons?).
Now that so many doors have opened for him, Cezzane has all the liberty be choosy! After all he's a big name thanks to this only show on TV.
So what will be the fate of Anurag Basu in Kasautii? Bumped off…..or plastic surgery and viola, a new face…… Going by the adulation the character enjoys, the former presumption can be discounted.
However, if one goes by the track record of all the Balaji walkouts, a majority have been devoid of the success they met at this production house. To cite examples are Rajeev Khandelwal (Time Bomb, Left Right Left), Anuj Saxena (Rishton Ki Dor), Nausheen Alii Sardar (Kaalchakara), Shweta Kawaatra, Shweta Keswani, Barkha Bisht.
Will Cezanne prove this statistics wrong???
