Balaji’s latest offering <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/sarvaguna-sampanna-start-shooting-kolhapur>Sarvagun Sampann</a> has finally got the 7 pm time slot. So contrary to speculation, the show won’t replace any of the existing shows on Imagine. However the channel has a different strategy now to air this show at an earlier slot.

Ekta Kapoor seems to have changed a lot. Not only has she dumped the alphabet K she has also moved away from her pet theme of saas bahu. And she is slowly recreating her old magic with shows like <em>Pavitra Rishta</em> and <em>Bandini</em>. Now she is in the process of launching two new serials on Sony television. One is named as <em>Bayttaab</em> and the second one as <em>Pyar Ka Bandhan</em>.

A few days back, a tabloid reported how Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming show Betaab dil ki tamanna hai will have a character who’ll emulate the real sordid deed of disgraced actor Shiney Ahuja. Seasoned actor Salim Ghouse is to play this character, so said that report. However, that’s far from the truth. Not only is there no such track in the show but Ghouse also doesn’t figure in the cast.

Property disputes in our country are a common feature. Land sharks are always scouting for easy prey. Presently, Bollywood legend Jeetendra, father of soap queen Ekta Kapoor, found himself involved in a bitter property dispute with M/s RNA builders. The disputed property is a 10 acre land in Hatkesh area of Mira Road (Thane). Balaji is said to have bought this to land to build a hi-tech studio.

A few days back we had reported on a new Balaji show that is set to make its way on Sony in September. However, there’s been a delay and the show will now come in October. The title of the show is likely to be <em>Betaab Dil ki tamanna hai</em>.

Ekta Kapoor is leaving no stone unturned in her bid to make her upcoming show <em>Fashion</em> (tentatively titled) a grand affair. After roping in Amrita Singh, Balaji Telefilms is trying to woo more celebs from Bollywood for this show. The buzz goes that evergreen actress Dimple Kapadia is on their wish list. “Balaji has approached Dimple Kapadia for a pivotal role. If everything goes smoothly, viewers will see Kapadia make her television debut,” says a source.

The K Queen Ekta Kapoor has ended her fixation for the alphabet K. The latest offering from the Balaji stable is titled <em>Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna</em>. As reported by Tellychakkar the lead actress of the show is Pooja Bose who essays the role of Goddess Radha in Ekta’s <em> Mahaabhaarat </em>.
