Jaya Bachchan’s TV debut not happening anytime soon!

December 02, 2014 08:30 AM

Jaya Bachchan‘s acting debut on TV has been getting postponed since a long time. It was the same time last year that news about Amitabh Bachchan’s Yudh and Jaya Bachchan’s TV show had come up. On one hand AB’s show came and garnered a lot of praise from critics, Jaya’s show is still no where to be seen. Grapevine has it now that the show might completely get shelved and not take off at all.

The show, as we know, was supposed to have Jaya Bachchan playing the role of a single mother who tries very hard and manages to fend for her whole family, which comprises of three sons, their wives and kids. The show would have been another fictional show with limited number of episodes like Yudh and Anil Kapoor’s 24. It was supposed to be based on a Gujarati novel called Yog Vijog. Reports were also coming that Abhishek Bachchan’s mummy dearest was taking a keen interest in the show and was helping in the casting of other contestants as well just because she was a co-producer in the show. Many popular celebs were being considered to play important roles in the fictional show.

The hyper around the show has almost died down and many actors are coming out protesting the same. Sudeep Sahir, who was brought on board for a very important role informed while speaking to a leading daily, “I was confirmed for the show in December last year, but then didn’t hear from them (the production team) after that. In March this year, I was told that the show might not happen, and that I should look out for work. I don’t think it is happening.”

Our khabroos close to Jaya Bachchan also inform us, “Actors were signed for the show, but no look tests or any other development happened. The set was ready and they were supposed to do a workshop, but then suddenly there was no news. Then representatives of the production team called to tell actors about the uncertain future of the show.”
