Om Shanti Om And Saawariya Rivalry Now On Television

The supposed rivalry between Farah Khan and Sanjay Bhansali has spilled over from newspapers and gossip magazines to Television shows. While Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his Saawariya team will be seen on Star Voice Of India. At the same time we shall have the team of Om Shanti Om featuring on Zee Tv’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.

‘Voice Of India’s’ producer-director Gajendra Singh said: ‘Having Sanjay Bhansali and the two ‘Saawariya’ debutants on our show was such a delight. Sanjayji is a complete music person.

 

He handpicked all the songs from the great Raj Kapoor epics on his own and when one of the contestants Abhas excelled in singing the title song from ‘Satyam Shivam Sunderam’, he spontaneously came forward to greet the contestant. It was a very emotional evening for all of us. Though this is the first time Ranbir and Sonam were recording for any show they were so confident.’

 

The ‘Om Shanti Om’ special to be telecast simultaneously on Zee features Shreyas Talpade, Deepika Padukone and director Farah Khan. Shah Rukh Khan couldn’t appear on the show because he is apparently contract-bound with STAR.

 

‘But he sent a list of requests for the contestants to sing. Those will be featured in the second-half of the show. During the first-half we’ll have the contestants singing the ‘Om Shanti Om’ tracks since two of our judges Vishal and Shekhar are also the music directorrs of Farah Khan’s film,’ says Payal Patel of ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’.
