 The relationship between channel and the production house is that of
boss and employee. If the channel does not get the expected profit from
the production, the channel slashes down the budget of the show. That's
the way it goes. This is precisely what has happened with Sahara One’s
‘Bitto’ and ‘Shorr’ that air every Monday to Thursday at 8:00 PM and
10:30 PM, respectively.
A little birdie from the sets informed TellyCafe “Sahara One has
warned the shows, ‘Bitto’ and ‘Shorr’ to improve their quality in
context of performance. Taking into consideration the looks, the acting,
the overall feel of the show, the channel had to cut down the budget of
the shows by 20 to 30 percent.”
“After warning the production houses repeatedly to bring improvement
in the shows, the production didn’t change and are not doing well since
long. Therefore, the channel decided on to slash the per episode budget
of the shows.”
The buzz is also that the production of the show ‘Bitto’ has also
changed almost four directors to suit the show but none of them worked
out.
Well, hope that both the shows pay heed to this budget cut and pull
up their socks, else the channel wont think twice before yanking them
off air completely. It's a touch world out there, people.... Buck up!
