Parvati and Anjali have a date with death!

Drama sells! Perhaps more so if it comes from Ekta's stable. In what can be called a coup of sorts, Ekta Kapoor and Star Plus have decided to merge the storylines of their two hugely popular shows, Kahanii Ghar Ghar Ki and Kkavyanjali. With TRPs touching around 11 and 9 respectively, the tracks of both the shows are poised at a very dramatic point. On one hand, Nitya (Amrita Singh) is hell bent on teaching Anjali a lesson and on the other, Pallavi is out to get Parvati --- both the shows will merge in a very fast action packed one hour special episode of Kkavyanjali and Kahani...on 12 July, from 9:30 to 10:30 pm. "This was entirely Ekta's idea," says Star India creative director, Shailja Kejriwal, rubbishing Ekta's efforts to tell us otherwise. The episodes in question will be high on action as the two protagonists will be pursued and a murder will be attempted. There will be an element of suspense that will be finally revealed in the next half. Alan Amin, who shot the now famous scene of Ansh's death in Kyunki...will be shooting the fight sequence here too. "It will involve a lot of drama which will be very fast paced. Which of the two gets shot is the suspense," says a visibly excited Ekta. Will the treatment be any different, we ask - "No, we have kept our basic format intact. There will be loads of action. There will be a ticker running throughout the episode and in the background we will have the usual family celebrations going on. The characters of the two shows will come together," says Ekta, who has planned to shoot a sequence with four bikes and a car on the highway. There is a very special shot that Ekta is very excited about - "There is a sequence whereby the bullet comes towards the camera and the episode ends there...and we don't know who his hit! That was a great shot," says Ekta. Great shot or not, Balaji is on a roll...all their shows are going great guns, and it is only a matter of time, when they leave all their competition behind...if they haven't already...
