Nikkhil Advani's P.O.W - Bandhi Yudh Ke is expected to air on November 7 but there seems to be a tad bit of disconcert between Advani and the channel. In a statement, the channel spokesperson said, "The show will air on the said date. It has 126 episodes which will air from Monday to Saturday at 10.30 pm on Star Plus."
However, insiders inform that the director, who had requested for a 9 pm slot, is unhappy with the time slot meted out to him. However, the channel did not relent.
A still from Bigg Boss 10
A unit hand says, "Mahesh Bhatt's show, 'Naamkaran', airs at 9 pm and the channel doesn't want to budge from the timing given to Advani. Salman Khan's Reality show Bigg Boss Season 10, which airs on a rival channel at 10:30 pm, is more massy a show and will eat into P.O.W's audience."
Says Advani, "The right of assigning the slot lies with the channel. It is not in my hands."
Channel CEO Uday Shankar says, "The decisions are taken by a separate team. I wouldn't want to comment on this."
