Will Ekta’s Junoon push Jasuben?

NDTV Imagine is currently embracing Ekta Kapoor. Reportedly, Balaji will be churning out more than one shows for this channel. With this being the case, the next question is where to fit Ekta’s upcoming shows? Speculation is rife that one of Ekta’s soap will push Hats Off productions Jasuben Jayantilaal Joshi Ki Joint Family into a weekend slot. Says a source, “While it is not clear which Balaji show will come on air first, it’s certain that Jasuben would indeed be pushed to the weekend slot. A Balaji show will occupy the 10.00 pm slot in the months to come.” JD..Majethia of Hats Off productions though rubbished the news. “Frankly speaking, you are the first one to break this news to me.” However, a source from Hats Off productions’ did admit to hearing such tales but felt that it would be better if we spoke to JD.Majethia.” Amongst the Balaji shows, the first in line to go on air would probably be Kabhi Kabhi Ise Junoon Kehte Hai . Commenting on the show, a source from Balaji says, “It is a love story similar to Balaji’s earlier show Kahiin to Hoga. The track focuses on four girls. Dimple Jhangiani is one of them but the lead is not yet finalised. The production house is looking for a new face for the lead role. Except for Dimple, none of the actors have been finalised. The show will probably go on air by the end of November or the first week of December.” Despite repeated calls and even a text message, Imagine programming head Shailja Kejriwal remained unavailable for comment.
