Antakshari in a new avtaar
posted in Uncategorized |Deewane, Parwanee, Mastane and Afsaane will be back with
the same ‘dhadakedaar’ host Anu Kapoor…all this not on Zee television any more but on STAR!!! Remember the heartrending outburst of Anu Kapoor on the last episode of Antakshari? Well it was genuine; after all it had finished 12 successful years on television. “We are introducing Antakshari in a new format and with a new concept, but the essence of the show will remain the same. I was looking to explore my creativity in a new way and Star has allowed me to do that,” Gajendrra Singh, director and creator of the hugely popular series, told reporters here. Singh added, “It was not a question of a fallout or anything with Zee. It was just that I felt my creativity had reached a stagnation point. When I presented my new concept to Star they were very positive.”
“Even though this has been a long-running show, we hope to enhance it by making it more interactive and reality-based. This will involve a lot of on-ground publicity. The show will go on air in February,” said Ajay Vidyasagar, Star’s executive vice president for marketing and sales.
“I will try to bring that era back and make my best effort, but I am nobody to guarantee success,” said Anu Kapoor who is on cloud nine for the re-launch of the show. The female hostess’ name remains pending as the competition for the post runs between three promising television faces on STAR.
