Sanjeev Kapoor Ke Kitchen Khiladi to replace Anamika on Sony TV

The thrilling tale of Anamika (Trishula Productions) on Sony Entertainment Television is coming to an end with the show going off air on 13 September (2013). The show was one-of-its-kind tale of a chudail named Anamika (Simran Kaur) who is in love with a human Jeet (Mudit Nayar). This interesting concept, which was loved by audience at large with its fast paced drama and exciting storyline, never got its deserving share at the TRP front. When we spoke to the Executive Producer of the show, Amit, he confirmed the news saying, “To be honest, we had some tough fight on our time slot but yet we managed to get a fair viewership. And it had been a wonderful journey; let’s see what the future holds for the team next.” We got information that the show will end with the birth of two daughters from both Jeet’s wives, Anamika and Chhavi (Shivani Surve). With the child of both the evil and the good growing up, we asked Amit if the open-ended story is eyeing towards a sequel. He laughingly avers, “You never know, the production and creatives will definitely sit and discuss on it and if people want us, we will surely make a comeback. But it would be wrong to comment on it at the moment.” And when we quizzed Amit as to how would the plot wrap up, he informs, “I will want the people to enjoy the last few episodes when the story would be unraveled. I can vouch that it will most certainly be exciting.” So what will replace Anamika? We have information right here. After the eerie show ends, a brand new cooking based venture with India’s most popular chef Sanjeev Kapoor will take its place. With families getting together to watch TV every evening, what better way than food to keep them connected. And using this funda, Sony TV is geared to present Sanjeev Kapoor Ke Kitchen Khiladi, produced by SOL. A source informs us saying, “The show will be competition based where a family will indulge in a culinary battle with a celebrated chef. The team comprising of common people will have around five members of a family competing with a noted chef on the other side. Sanjeev Kapoor will play the ultimate judge on the show.” To toughen up this gastronomic test, families from all over the country have been auditioned and the best among them will find their place in the show. Those renowned chefs who will be pitted against the families are India’s award winning chefs Ajay Chopra, Vikas Sethi, Harpal Singh Sokhi, Rahul Kulkarni and Ranveer Brar. Sanjeev Kapoor Ke Kitchen Khiladi will go on air from 16 September at 8 pm followed by another new show Desh Ki Beti..Nandini (Rashmi Sharma Productions) in the 9 pm slot. As earlier informed, Sony TV’s Chhanchhan (Optimystix Productions) will go off air on 12 September paving way for the last mentioned show. Well, shows come and go, but it would be a worthy watch to see which among them survives the vicious cycle of TRPs and popularity.
