MUMBAI: Sahara One's thriller Kohinoor, which is loosely based on The Da Vinci Code, will be completing its run tomorrow (15 December). The channel is planning to replace it with another thriller titled Talaash.
Kohinoor was launched in September this year and aired from Monday to Thursday at 10 pm. Talaash, on the other hand, has already had its run on the channel and has been brought back as a filler.
The 45 episodes series has been written by Sudhir Mishra and Ruchi Narain and revolves around a brother's quest of finding his sister.
Sahara One Television COO Purnendu Bose said, "As Kohinoor completes its run, we will replace it by Talaash. When we had earlier aired the latter, it had not been properly marketed and hence was lost on the audience. Hence we are now looking at re-launching the show."
Once the 45 episodes of Talaash are exhausted, it will be replaced by a new show that the channel is still in the process of finalising. However, Bose said that it was too early to talk about the same.
Sahara One recently launched Kituu Sabb Jantii Hai in the 9.30 pm slot, which was followed by Kohinoor. Another big property that the channel has lined up for next year is the game show Mission Ek Crore hosted by Sanjay Dutt; the promos of which are currently on air. This is slated to launch in March.
