So, apparently there’s news floating around that Beyhadh 2 might shift to digital platform. There are some news portals that further add that Jennifer (Winget) is unhappy with this transition, and she might quit if it happens, alternatively she is charging a higher fee and contract renewal. Either ways, all seem to say that the show might go off-air on tv by the end of this month.
Ugh, my head is in a tizz. Ek dhang ka show hain poore itv mein, usko bhi off-air kar doge? Without any confirmation, I don’t even know maatam manaayu ke nahi?
I just.....is ITV, rather channels, bankrupt or something? Till now it was only Star and Colors who would randomly off-air shows/interfere in script due to ratings, ab Sony, the only channel which supports content, seems to have joined the fray.
Matlab chal kya raha hai? I know Jen and Ashish are expensive stars, and the Beyhadh2 is generating a measly 0.5 for a 9pm slot, but the show is anyways finite for 6 months. The channel knew all the risks with Beyhadh2, toh ab kyun nakhra kar rahe hai?
If good actors and quality script, together, have become so unaffordable for ITV, then isn’t time to shift to Pakistani drama format? Have finite, pre-shot shows of 30ish episodes (~ 60 episodes in our timeframe) airing weekly. Channels ka budget bhi save ho jaayega, and audience will also get something good to watch (not to mention some couples might get repeated cough *JenShad* cough).
This random axing of shows, without proper closure, or after trashing the script, is just tellywood blasphemy. Paap chadhega!
