Ekta Kapoor's new ‘family show’ which will replace Kasautii Zindagii Kay
After much speculation, it is final that Ekta Kapoor’s Kasautii Zindagii Kay, one of the channel drivers on Star Plus, will be pulled off air. But Ekta has nothing to lose as she retains the 9.30 pm slot! The last episode of Kasautii will be telecast on January 17 and will be replaced by Ekta’s, yet untitled, new show from January 20.
Ekta confirms and says, “Kasautii... is coming to an end. My new show is a love story set against a family background.”
According to our sources, Shweta Tiwari’s (Prerna of Kasautii...) nakhras are largely responsible for Kasautii being wrapped up. Says creative head Doris Dey, “Well, there were certain issues with some artistes. But that’s not the reason why Kasautii... is going off air. It was a creative decision taken in the best interest of the show.”
Doris, who is also the creative head on the new show, gives a peek into the story, “The story is based on the families of two friends. One friend stays in Punjab, while the other stays in London. We are looking at Deepak Qazir to play the man in London, and we have chosen Virendra Saxena (who played Mona Singh’s father in Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin) to essay the role of the head of the family in Ambala.”
While Ekta is scouting for a fresh face to play the female lead, she has roped in Apoorva Agnihotri to play one of the two male leads. Says Doris, “We are in talks with Apoorva. The slot for the second male lead is still vacant. The heroine will be played by a new girl. We are auditioning many new girls. The show will go on the floors in the next ten days.”
