SAB TV’s show Movers and Shakers…Masala Markey anchored by Shekhar Suman never really set the TRP chart on fire. And the latest we have learned is that it is all set to go off air on 22 June 2012.

Already this show has been shifted to the 7 pm slot from Monday (18 June) night. This standup comedy series had first been shunted from 10.30 to 11pm and the original producer (Runway Productions) was also replaced by Optimystix Entertainment.

Producer Vipul Shah from Optimystix confirmed the “off air” development” stating, “We are taking a seasonal break and might return by the year end with season 2.”

When asked to comment on the lower ratings, he said, “Channel was quite happy with the average 0.6-0.7 TVR and we even touched 1 at times. Furthermore, on the face humour, satire and personal jokes were not part of regular SAB family comic fare so they were happy with these above numbers at the late night slot and hence mostly the show will also return with the same title sponsor. This also reflects that the market is also happy with the response.”

Though on the other hand, Vipul personally accepted that, “The numbers were lower then what we were expecting internally but the above reasons may have caused the dip. Having said that, this seasonal break was always on the card and actually we shot a few episodes more than what was originally scheduled i.e. 70. ”

A source added that the public was missing the repeats of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah at 11 pm when Movers was first shifted to that time slot. Our attempts to contact SAB TV’S Business Head Anooj Kapoor, and actor Shekhar Suman proved futile.
