According to the latest reports, Star Plus is set to end its recently launched fantasy series Yehh Jadu Hai Jinn Ka in the month of February. If you thought that the show has failed to grab audiences’ attention and hence the channel has decided to pull the plug on it, then think again!
As per sources, the show was always planned to run for just 100 episodes, which it will be completing in February. “Yehh Jadu Hai Jinn Ka launched in October and has been produced to run for 100 episodes. If all goes well, the series will end in February 2020 by the new show,” reveals a source close to the development.
The latest we hear that one of the leading production houses, Rajshri Productions, is working on a new show called Dadi Amma Dadi Jaag Jao, which is expected to replace Yehh Jadu Hai Jinn Ka in February next year.
According to sources, Dadi Amma Dadi Jaag Jao boasts of an ensemble cast which includes the likes of Sheen Dass, Anagha Bhosle and Seema Biswas. Seema Biswas has been roped in to play the grandmother on the show. Khalid Siddiqui, Shilpa Tulaskar and Mohan Joshi are also a part of the cast.
We have also learnt that the opening schedule of Dadi Amma Dadi Jaag Jao has already been shot in Indore. “It is very good to be part of the limited series with a possibility of Season 2. It has a very good story and every middle-class family will identify with,” informs the source.
The source goes on to add, “At first, this show which was in the work for long was supposed to have come on Star Bharat but now apparently has shifted base to Star Plus.”
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
