Even as they
are busy
with the
shooting of
their first
film under
Nautanki
Films banner,
producers
Saurabh Tewari and Abhinav A.
Shukla are very much in touch with
what is happening to their TV shows
on air. With Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek
Junoon very much in the news these
days, we got co-producer Abhinav
Shukla talking about the leap in
Madhubala and how it is going to
affect the show in a positive way.
Madhubala was an intense love
story with the chemistry of RK
and Madhu keeping the viewers
interested in the show and a leap
was not expected.
Every daily show has its own life and
Television is purely based on ratings
and as long as the show is
generating numbers and people are
watching the episodes the show is
supposed to be doing good.
Madhubala too was doing great and
we even introduced different tracks
and characters like Sultan and KRK to
keep the interest level high but we
realized that only the RK -
Madhubala magic worked.
However, now that they are shown
to be married and their love story
has been juiced out we needed to
give the show a fresh twist which
meant that a leap was inevitable.
Even we had thought that the leap
should happen one year later but
then things were not working out
well.
So you think that a leap will help
increase the ratings?
Yes, we think that the leap will add
freshness to the whole story
otherwise it will continue to be yet
another run of the mill show. The
show Madhubala has become a
brand now so we need to do justice
to the brand too. Whether it will
work or not, only time will tell.
The show
Madhubala
- Ek Ishq Ek
Junoon as
well as the
lead actors
- Vivian Dsena and Drashti Dhami
had a huge fan following who will
now be disappointed with their
favorite actor not being a part of
the show anymore.
I know we have loyal fans are
watching the show and every move
that we make but only that is not
sufficient for the show to work well
since we have other benchmarks.
However, let me tell you that we are
currently working on making the
show more interesting by adding
new characters which will add
edginess to the drama of the love
story so that we don't lose the DNA
of the show. We will make sure that
the essence of the show does not go
away.
Talking about Vivian, let me tell you
that he is a very good friend and we
had a good working relationship too.
We at Nautanki Films are looking
forward towards working with him
again, maybe in another show or in a
film. Vivian is a star and characters
may come and go but a star never
dies. Vivian clearly told us that post
the leap I cannot play a father and
we were not really ready to show RK
and Madhu staying separately so we
decided to part ways mutually on
good terms.
In many Indian Television shows
we see the character coming back
from dead. Any probability of
that happening with Vivian
Dsena?
As I said earlier every show's survival
depends on the ratings and how the
show is rated on the time meter.
Fans also play an important role and
if they want him back we will get
him back. There is always an answer
to every question and the channel
and us together will find a solution.
How does Drashti Dhami fit in the
show post the leap?
We are planning a leap with some
drama as to how everyone will
disappear which will be real high
drama. Drashti will fit in as RK and
Madhu's young daughter who will be
shown as a young girl post the 20
year leap.
And any further news on who will
play the male main lead post the
leap?
For the male main lead post the leap
we are looking at a face with a good
fan following. It will definitely not be
a new face at all. As of now we have
not gone ahead and shortlisted
anyone but we should soon be
making an announcement.
