POW and Sanaya

After the disappointing news of Meenu Mausi being 'indefinitely on hold', whatever that means, there is really a dearth of good TV shows to watch. I don't blame Star Plus for putting all new shows on hold, given that their current prime time shows are all struggling badly, and the only ones keeping their ratings somewhat respectable are the old ones like YHM and Saathiya. But seriously, their programming team needs to be fired ... who the hell took the bright decision to have three Ekta shows one after the other at prime time? And not only that, who decided to rush such a tired show like Pardes on air, with its typical FL, and even more typical vamps, all  of whom are not only tried and tested Ekta actors, but also seem to be doing exactly the same roles they have done in the past. The whole show looks stale ... doesn't help that the actors are also quite bad. I thought DD was a better actress ... Arjun's acting, or lack of it, doesn't surprise me.

Anyway ... seems Sanaya is on the lookout for new shows ... TC carried an article on a potential show on Sony, with the lead character a mentally/physically challenged girl. If this works out, then it will be a dream role for Sanaya ... her dream has been to play a mentally/physically challenged character like Rani in Black. A challenge for any actor. By the genre though, I hope it will be a finite show ... can't see such a show being dragged for too long.

Loyal fans of Sanaya Irani were in for a disappointment when her upcoming show titled Meenu Mausi got shelved indefinitely!! 

Seems like they say, after all the disappointment comes the ray of hope!! 

Well, there’s some good news as Sanaya who is a very efficient performer has been showered with more options ever since the news of Meenu Mausi’s development flashed all around. 

Wow!! This is indeed good, isn’t it? 

We hear that Sanaya is presently in talks for a role that will require her to be at the top of her performance. If things fall in place, it might turn out to be one of Sanaya’s best-ever roles, is what we hear!! 

So what’s the show and role all about?

Our credible source informs us that Yash Patnaik’s Beyond Dreams is presently working on a show for Sony TV. Tentatively titled Behane, the show will depict the journey of a girl who would be suffering from a health ailment, similar to the hyperactivity syndrome. 

Interesting, right? 

Our source further tells us, “The channel and makers have been very keen on casting Sanaya for the lead role of Kavya, the girl with the health problem. Talks are presently happening with Sanaya Irani.”

The show will in all likelihood go on floor in January 2017. 

We reached out to Producer Yash Patnaik and even dropped a text message, but did not get any revert. As we know, Beyond Dreams has the entertaining saga Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi airing on Sony TV presently. 

We buzzed Sanaya too but she chose not to respond. 

Our efforts to talk to the channel spokesperson were also futile. 

Do you think Sanaya will do a swell job in the role? Drop your comments here..

No further news on this though ... and all media still report MM as being on hold or postponed ... so we just have to wait.

POW is gripping ... a show well worth watching. The acting is STELLAR. I am head over heels in love with Imaan with his wise, sad, kind eyes ... and with Harleen and her gritty strength. The only complaint I have right now is with the rather ghissi piti letter going astray track. Thankfully it has already been found by the senior Mrs. Khan ... now what she does with it, when she finds her own sikka is khota, when she has been rather anti her daughter-in-law all this while, will be interesting. She was upset about Nazneen linking up with Salim while Imaan was missing for 17 long years, but now she has to swallow the fact that her son was unfaithful to his wife when she was pregnant with his baby.  

On the other side, Sartaj is also unfaithful to Harleen, when she has been solidly faithful to his memory and to his family. And his father dumps the DIL  for the son ... blood is thicker than water, after all. But bless her devar and his wife ... they are made of more solid stuff.

The writer of the show is supposedly on the POW forum ... if genuine. He confirmed what I'd read somewhere ... channel  is solidly behind the show, and there will be no changes based on TRP whims. So definitely a show worth sticking to till the end. 

Have I mentioned the acting? Not only the leads ... the last few episodes have shown the supporting cast rise to the occasion ... each of them is solid gold. Sartaj's younger brother Satpal and his wife Veera are wonderful characters. Loving the show!
