Sarvaguna Sampanna to start shooting in Kolhapur

Balaji Telefilms’ Sarvaguna Sampanna on Imagine is going to start its first shooting schedule in Kolhapur from April 18. Pooja Bose and Nivedita Saraf are expected to be part of this schedule. A source from the show says, “The channel wants to launch the show from May 3. We have not shot a single episode so far, therefore day after tomorrow the entire unit will fly there and start shooting. We will shoot first few episodes in Kolhapur, as the story is set there. After that we will shift our location here in Mumbai, though we have not decided where we will shoot. Few important characters including the male lead still need to be finalised.” Saraf says, “I have no idea about the shooting schedule. Right now, I am in Kankavli for my play. The production house has not asked me for any dates.” Meanwhile the current buzz is that the channel may reshuffle their prime time slot, but the decision will be taken only in a few days’ time. For the time being neither Jyoti nor Bandini are going off air. Even other shows like Palkon Ki Chhaon Mein and Do Hanson Ka Joda stay put. The three recent shows Devi, Jamunia and Kashi which air at 10pm, 8.30pm and 8 pm respectively, may have to make place for this new show. So which show bears the brunt one needs to wait and watch!
