  • Actor Shailesh Lodha Quit TMKOC For This Big Reason

    Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of the longest running TV shows

    Sab TV’s Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is the most successful comedy TV show in the history of Indian television. Over the years Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC) has gained cult status and massive fan following among Indians. The show aired on 28 July 2008 and has been running successfully to date. But for the past few years, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has received criticism. Several of its cast members have quit the show including Shailesh Lodha who played one of the leads.

    Shailesh Lodha is a writer, actor, and an award-winning poet. He is one of the cast members who has been associated with the show since its inspection in 2008. Shailesh Lodha, Dilip Joshi, Amit Bhatt, Mandar Chandwadkar, Kavi Kumar Azad, Gurucharan Singh Sodhi, Shyam Pathak, and Tanuj Mahashabde were the main male pillars and the leading cast of the show since its first episode. In 2022, Shailesh Lodha shocked everyone with his decision to quit the show after over 14 years.

    Shailesh Lodha

    Shailesh Lodha essayed the character of writer Taarak Mehta in the show. He played one of the leads beside Dilip Joshi. In 2022, Shailesh Lodha quit the show which saddened his fans and the show’s fans. According to the reports, there were some financial disputes between Shailesh Lodha and TMKOC producer Asit Kumar Modi. Shailesh Lodha had even lodged a court against Asit Kumar Modi for his impending acting fees. After leaving the show Shailesh Lodha won the case against Asit Kumar Modi.

    Now according to actor Shailesh Lodha, his decision to quit the show was never about money but it was because of self-respect.
    Shailesh Lodha in an interview said that the show producer Asit Kumar Modi spoke to him in a bad-mannered manner and he felt insulted which made him leave the show. It was a matter of self-respect. According to Shailesh, Asit Kumar Modi disrespected him for visiting another show without his permission.

    Shailesh Lodha said that he got an invitation from a poetry reality show and he attended one of the episodes as the chief guest. Shailesh who himself is a poet didn’t want to miss the opportunity to attend a poetry show. But, Asit Kumar Modi didn’t like Shailesh’s participation in another show on another channel and he called Shailesh to ask him how he attended the poetry show without informing him or his permission.

    Shailesh Lodha tried to convince Asit Kumar Modi that he went to attend the show as a guest not as a character of its cast to play a role. Shailesh said that Asit Kumar Modi spoke in a rude tone and he couldn’t tolerate it as it has happened several times before. This time Shailesh Lodha was sure that he wouldn’t tolerate it anymore and quit the show.

    Recently actor Palak Sindhwani who featured as Sonu in TMKOC left the show after a argument with the makers. The actress played the character of Sonu, Bhide’s daughter in the show.

    Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has received harsh criticism for weak writing and uninteresting stories. A number of its main cast members have left the show to pursue and try other endeavors.

    Aditya Chopra is the chairman of Yash Raj Films

    Aditya Chopra is one of the most influential movie personalities in India. He is a director, producer, screenwriter, and chairman of Yash Raj Films (YRF). Yash Raj Films is one of India’s biggest film production, direction, and distribution companies. It is the leading production house in Bollywood. The company was founded by Yash Chopra and is presently upheld by his son Aditya Chopra. Despite being one of the most powerful people in the Indian Film Industry, Aditya Chopra is an introvert and has rejected fame and celebrity status. He is quite private.

    Aditya Chopra under his production company Yash Raj Films has produced and delivered some of the best films of the Indian Film Industry. He has produced films such as ETT, TZH, W1, Pathaan, and T3. Aditya Chopra has also directed Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge which is considered as one of the best and one of the most influential Indian films ever.

    Aditya Chopra has produced big films such as T3, Pathaan, TZH, and W1 on a mammoth budget of 200-300 crores. The production cost of such stylish films is quite expensive. But these films had superstars like Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan who are certified to deliver a blockbuster to their producer. But it is impossible to make such a high-budget film with a young actor.

    Varun Dhawan earlier in a media interaction revealed that Aditya Chopra declined an film with him.

    Varun Dhawan who was present at the trailer launch of his upcoming series Citadel: Honey Bunny revealed that Aditya Chopra refused to do an film with him.

    Varun said that it was in 2020 when he met Aditya Chopra and director Maneesh Sharma, director of T3 at a badminton club. Varun stated Aditya Chopra is fond of big stylish films and he asked him to cast him in a similar film but Aditya declined to cast him in any film. Aditya Chopra said to Varun that he can’t produce such a high-budget with any young actor and he hasn’t reached the status where he can promise a film to emerge as a blockbuster. Only Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan can promise to deliver a blockbuster.

    However, Varun Dhawan expressed his gratitude to Prime Video and director duo Raj & DK who offered him Citadel: Honey Bunny. Citadel: Honey Bunny is a high-octane series featuring Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.

  • Can Sab TV’s TMKOC Retain Its Lost Glory

    TMKOC is one of India’s longest-running television show

    Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah or TMKOC is one of the most loved comedy shows in India. The show has been airing on Sab TV since its inception in 2008. It is one of the longest-running shows and the longest-running Sitcom show. Over the years TMKOC has gained a cult following and is one of the most loved, cherished, and respected Indian shows ever. However, over the past few years, the viewers have been complaining that the show has lost its originality and charm.

    As mentioned earlier, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is the most loved Indian comedy show ever. Everything went right for its makers when they launched this show on 28 July 2008. They had an excellent team of script and story writers. They had an amazing bunch of crew and production members. And the biggest highlight is that TMKOC had the best star cast a show could ever have. But as the years have conceded, TMKOC has been criticized heavily for coming up with dull stories and uninteresting characters. The viewers have blamed script and story writers.

    Many actors of TMKOC have left the show due to creative differences or to focus on other ventures or studies. TMKOC has been running successfully for the last sixteen years but its fan following has abridged significantly. The show is still running because of its original characters that have been associated with the show since its beginning.

    Legendary actor Dilip Joshi who plays the title character of Jethalal Gada is one of the major reasons why TMKOC is still running successfully. Besides he has excellent support from his colleague actors such as Amit Bhatt (Babuji), Mandar Chandwadkar (Bhide), Shyam Pathak (Popatlal), and many more.

    Several actors who have left the show are Disha Vakani (Daya), Bhavya Gandhi (Tapu 1), Raj Anadkat (Tapu 2), Shailesh Lodha (Taarak Mehta), Neha Mehta (Anjali Mehta), Jheel Mehta (Sonu 1), Nidhi Bhanushali (Sonu 2), Kush Shah (Goli), Gurucharan Singh (Sodhi) and Jennifer Mistry (Roshan). Kavi Kumar Azad (Dr Hathi) and Ghanashyam Nayak (Natu Kaka) are no longer and were replaced by other actors.

    Unfortunately, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is yet to retain its lost glory even after introducing new scriptwriters and new characters.

    TMKOC still can retain its lost glory

    Yup! Indians are obsessed with Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and the makers can bounce back by bringing in several changes to the show.

    Actress Disha Vakani who played the title role of Daya took maternity leave in 2017 and is yet to return to the show. The actress has decided to focus on her personal life and give her maximum time to her kids. However, the makers have been trying for the last several years and approaching her to continue her association with the show. Disha Vakani’s character of Daya is one of the most loved comedy characters ever. It is not easy to replace her with another actor but it’s high time now. The makers have to get another actress on board to essay the character of Daya. Viewers will be disappointed but will get involved with the show by bringing this major change.

    The biggest reason how TMKOC can bounce back is by bringing the most demanded and new character of Popatlal’s wife.

    Shyam Pathak who plays the character of Popatlal is happily married and has kids in real life. But in TMKOC his imminent marriage is one of the biggest highlights of the show. We are sure viewers will jump to watch TMKOC passionately once Popatlal gets married. It’s high time now. Makers should introduce a new character of Popatlal’s wife and present his wedding episodes.

    Despite criticism, the cast, crew, and makers of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah are trying hard to continue the show. And they are blessed with a loyal fan following. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is still topping the charts. But the makers have to advance the comedy levels.

    Many Bollywood celebrities have made an appearance in the show to promote their films. Celebrities such as Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, Hrithik Roshan, Arjun Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor and several more have made an appearance in the show.

    Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is the recipient of several awards. It is the No.1 show in India. Its legacy and impact are nonpareil. We hope that Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah continues successively with a slight improvement.

    Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is a successful production company. But it was going through a bit of a financial crisis. The last many films of Karan Johar have failed to perform well at the box office. But Dharma Productions is still a successful and one of the biggest production companies of Bollywood.

    Adar Poonawalla who is a close friend of Karan Johar has bought a 50% stake in Dharma Productions for 1000 crores. Adar and Karan together have assured to produce and deliver several wonderful stories, films, and shows in several languages.

    Previously it was reported that Business Tycoons and a few of the richest persons in India such as Mukesh Ambani and Sanjiv Goenka were interested in buying a stake in Dharma Productions. Mukesh Ambani and Sanjiv Goenka already own several movie production companies. But it is Karan Johar’s dear friend Adar Poonawala who has come to his rescue

    The last commercially successful film of Dharma Productions was Sooryavanshi released in 2021. Since 2021, many films of Dharma Productions have performed decent at the box office or have failed to make money. Films such as Gehraiyaan, Jug Jug Jeeyo, Liger, Brahmastra, Selfiee, Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, Lakshya’s K, Yodha, Bad News, and Mr and Mrs Mahi.

    Karan Johar invested over 100 crores in the 2023 film ‘Selfie’ starring Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi. It was a box office flop on its opening day itself despite receiving encouraging reviews from critics.

    Karan Johar invested over 150 crores for the Pan-India film titled ‘Liger’. It starred Vijay Deverkonda and Ananya Pandey in the lead roles. The film was released in several languages such as Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Liger received negative reviews and emerged as a box office disaster.

    Even Karan Johar and Dharma Productions’ latest high-budget film Jigra has flopped at the box office. The film led by Alia Bhatt was one of the most awaited films of the year. The film received mixed to negative reviews.

    Yash Raj Films (YRF), T-Series (Bhushan Kumar), and Dharma Productions (Karan Johar) are three of the biggest movie production companies in Bollywood.

    Yash Raj Films and T-Series have had several big successes in recent years. They have constantly delivered high-grossing films and they have minted huge profits. But Dharma Productions is struggling to have a major commercially successful film.

    The net worth of Karan Johar is over 5000 crores. But it is his company that is going through difficult financial crises.

    Upcoming Films of Dharma Productions

    The next produced film by Dharma Productions is Shankara. It is a periodic film starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Pandey. The film is set to release between March – April. Dharma Productions is also producing a romantic comedy film titled Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. The film stars Varun Dhawan, Jhanvi Kapoor, Rohit Saraf, and Sanya Malhotra among others.

    Also, Karan Johar’s high-budget film with Salman Khan has been shelved. The producer was hoping to collaborate with Salman Khan for a film titled The Bull. But now according to the sources that movie has been shelved too and Karan Johar has no plans of making it in the future.

    Now only Shahrukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Salman Khan can save Dharma Productions. Karan Johar and Adar Poonawala would hope to produce a large scale and high budget film with any one of the stars. The stardom of Shahrukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Salman Khan is colossal and they have the competence to bring the audience into theatres.

    Also, Karan Johar should co-produce Shahrukh Khan’s upcoming massive film titled ‘King’. The buzz of King is on another level. It surely seems like a 1000+ crore worldwide grosser.

    Karan Johar has also launched Dharmatic Entertainment, a new subsidiary of Dharma Productions.

    Dharmatic Entertainment would focus on producing and providing digital films and shows for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hotstar. Dharmatic Entertainment delivered over ten films and Television shows in 2024. But, Dharmatic Entertainment is yet to become a profitable venture.

    Ending the show with a piece of good news, Karan Johar is returning with another season of ‘Koffee With Karan’. Koffee With Karan is a talk show where Karan Johar invites popular faces from the film, fashion, and sports industries. It is the biggest and most popular talk show in India.
