A few years ago, child actor Aayesha Kaduskar was signed on to play the young Jhansi Ki Rani. Baba Aiso Var Dhoondo and Mata Ki Chowki are some shows whose producers were replaced while they were still on air.īut switching to a new producer mid-way brings with it more challenges too, such as negative publicity for the channel and the task of getting actor accustomed to a new set-up. These may include everything - from the issue of cost per episode to the producer’s inability to deliver ratings. The most frequently cited reason for conflict is creative differences.
The channel also enjoys the right to replace a producer if things don’t work out between them. Unlike the west, in India, the cast and the crew rarely get any royalty or fee for the re-runs. It has the right to air the show anywhere in the world in its original or dubbed versions. When a producer approaches the channel with a show, the latter owns the final product. The bottom-line is that the channel intervened to set things straight and handed over the reins to another maker. Apparently, the period drama didn’t get high ratings as expected. The reasons cited, according to many reports, ranged from issues relating to production, finances and actors’ tantrums. It might have come as a shock to many that Sanjay Leela Bhansali will no longer be producing Saraswatichandra, a show he launched with much fanfare six months ago.
