Saat Phere has yet another director

Saat Phere is changing its director at the drop of a hat. The show which was launched on 17 October has already had two directors quitting the show in a row. Saat Phere is a show about a woman's (Saloni's) quest for her identity and her struggle against the social stigmas and the pressure from her kith and kin. While Rakesh Sarang the first director for Saat Phere was penciled in only for 16 episodes the second director Rajan Shahi (also the director of Miilee) was in the show for quite some time (read one schedule) until Vijay Pandey took over. "Rakesh was clearly under a contract of 16 episodes and Rajan Shahi was committed to Millee and he was doing Saat Phere too, so the dates had to be worked out for both the shows. Now we have a new director for the show," says Sunjoy Wadhwa the producer of Saat Phere. "There are combination of reasons for leaving the show. Saat Phere is a good show and is catching up with the viewers.I left it for some personal reasons and did not want to do the show mechanically so I opted out. The producers and the channel were happy with me and I may come back," says the Rajan Shahi. Vijay Pandey the present director of the show is a gold medalist from FTII, Pune and has directed The Thief of Baghdad, Parivartan, Ek Mulakat and Sword of Tipu Sultan and a few shows for DD.
