But today if I approach any channel with such a show,they will not show interest.” Earlier we made Katha Sagar for DD,it featured classic tales and was a huge hit then. Prem Krishen of Cinevistaa,(makers of Gul Gulshan Gulfam) agrees with Jha saying,”Hum toh wohi banaate hai,jo channel hume bolte hain. We were told by other channels that our country at this point of time was not ready for a show with Muslim backdrop,” she adds.


I am sure producers might be approaching them with great ideas,but nothing comes out of it,” says Mrinal Jha,creative producer of ‘Qubool Hai.’ She claims that they approached many channels before Zee TV,and faced opposition. While most experts attribute the renewed interest in Muslim socials to cyclical pattern of trends,there are some who blame channels for lacking vision.
