Ekta Kapoor to bring back yet another show from the past

After launching the new season of Kasautii Zindagii Kay, a soap opera which ruled the Indian television space around the 2000s, well-known producer Ekta Kapoor has now decided to revamp yet another old show from her huge library.

Buzz has it that Ekta Kapoor is bringing her popular show Keshav Pandit back on the small screen after a gap of almost a decade. Starring Sarwar Ahuja in the lead role, the crime drama series premiered in 2010 on one of the leading general entertainment channels, ZEE TV.


Besides Sarwar Ahuja, the television series also featured Rajat Tokas, Aman Verma and Panchi Bora in important roles. Launched with much fanfare, the show did not perform well on the TRP chart and was pulled down within two months of going on-air.

It looks like Ekta Kapoor has come up with a brilliant idea to revive Keshav Pandit. If not, then why would she spend money on a show which failed to arrest eyeballs during its first run on television.

More details are awaited.
