Ekta Kapoor, having started her career producing television content, moved on to produce films for the big screen. Sanjay Leela Bhansali seems to have chosen a path quite opposite to her's. Having started off his career filming in 72 mm, Bhansali has now decided to create his brand of shows for the small screen, reveal sources.
According to sources from the industry, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is venturing into TV production has signed a 3-year contract with a leading channel for a daily soap of about 500 episodes.
A source informed Mumbai Mirror, "After being part of various reality shows as a judge (Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa in 2006, X Factor in 2011), Sanjay Leela Bhansali now feels that the TV business is a very viable proposition."
"Sanjay is already in talks with a leading general entertainment channel (GEC) for the production of a couple of shows. It won't be long before his first TV show goes on air," added the source.
Sources reveal that the infrastructure for the filmmaker's TV production unit is already underway.
"These new plans for television production is perhaps the only reason why Bhansali hasn't announced his next film after Guzaarish yet. Sanjay is a very creative person. He wouldn't have waited for so long to announce his next project." said the source.
"But now he is ready with a new script for his next film as well," the source added. Like his films, Sanjay's television shows too will be on a big scale, reveal sources. "Bhansali has really big plans for television. His production values will be a treat," informed the source.
Despite repeated attempts, Bhansali remained unavailable for comment.
