Rashami Desai, who essayed the role of Shalakha in Ekta Kapoor’s hugely popular show Naagin 4, has been asked to quit, as per a report by Mumbai Mirror. With TV shows coming to a halt because of the coronavirus lockdown, many producers and makers are worried about the change in viewing pattern in a post-COVID world.
Now, with shoots most likely to resume in a few days, makers will try their best to get their shows high on the TRP charts. A source told the publication that after lockdown, Naagin 4 will go through a major revamp.
The source also said that since it’s been two months into the lockdown, it will be very difficult to get viewers hooked on to old shows. “The makers will have to take a risk. It will be a trial and error process after shoots resume. The new cast of Naagin 4 has not been finalised as of yet but the decision will be taken soon”.
The television industry had recently held a meeting with Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, asking for his permission to resume shoots and assuring him that proper precautions will be taken and guidelines followed. JD Majethia, Chairman – Television and Web, IFTPC (Indian Film and Television Producers Council) told the publication that the CM has asked shoots not to be moved out of the state.
