       next month

       Ekta Kapoor’s long-delayed Star Plus family drama Mera Tera
       Rishta Purana based on the popular novel of Manju Kapur titled
       ‘Custody’ has been in news of late for the probable time-slot
       that it might get. According to sources the channel is finally
       planning to launch the show in a month’s time. And if our
       information is correct this Divyanka Tripathi, Karan Patel
       (replaced Cezanne Khan) and Shruti Bapna lead project might air
       either at the early evening 7.30 pm or the late night 11 pm
       slot.
       There have been talks that this show which might again see a new
       title in ‘Mohabbatein’ could replace Saraswatichandra which
       currently occupies the 7.30 pm slot. This remake of the classic
       Gujarati writer Govardhanram Madhavaram Tripathi effort has not
       really raced to great ratings and had even witnessed change of
       production house from Sanjay Leela Bhansali to Sunjoy Wadhwa
       (Sphere Origins).
       However, actors of Saraswatichandra deny any talk of their show
       going off air. Monica Bedi who plays the negative lead
       maintained that, “The show is now doing well and the ratings
       have increased. In fact, the producers and writers are coming up
       with really good twists and turns.”
       So if not a 7.30 pm, the next option for Ekta’s show would be
       the 11 pm slot. The source says the late night slot will also
       fit the theme of the show, which centers around a custody battle
       of a child between a divorced couple and the entry of a new
       woman in the man’s life. If they get the late night slot, they
       will make it more mature as the theme is serious enough,
       explains the source.
       The source also did not seem worried about the popularity of the
       11 pm slot, for even before hits show like Kahin Kissi Roz had
       rocked the same time slot. “If you give gripping content, any
       time slot is good enough” reasons our khabroo.
       Here the source further added that the entire unit is very
       happy, for Ekta herself is giving personal attention to the show
       despite being busy with films and other assignments. Balaji
       Telefilms is leaving no stone unturned to deliver a quality
       product. A lot of scenes are being re-shot to get precision, is
       what we hear.
       When we spoke to Karan Patel, he said, “As per the information I
       have, the show will go on air in November.” But he seemed to
       have no clue about the launch date and the time slot. “The
       promos will be shot today and very soon all the telecast details
       will be out.”
       We tried to touch base with Gaurav Banerjee, Star Plus Head of
       Content Strategy, but he was not available for comment. We could
       not get through to Ekta Kapoor as well.
       Let’s see whether Ekta manages to strike gold with this show at
       the given time slot!!
