MUMBAI: Another shocking news from the television world is coming from the desk of TellyChakkar. According to our sources, popular crime show Savdhaan Indiais getting axed from Star Bharat.

A little birdie informs us that the GEC has given the final verdict to the producers today. The show is produced by eight different production houses. The GEC has asked the producers to stop shooting for the series.

Apparently, the reason behind the sudden shutdown is the criticism that the show is receiving due to poor execution of crime in the storyline. The decision was informed overnight, which led to a sudden uproar among the production houses. “The entire production unit, including the technicians and actors are jobless all of a sudden,” a source claimed.

Star Bharat has surprisingly been doing very well on the rating charts. Therefore, the channel is wasting no time to eliminate shows that are not doing well. Just within few months of its revamp, the GEC has already pulled off two shows–Aayushmann Bhava and Jai Kanhaiya Lal.

We couldn’t get through the channel spokesperson. While a source placed in the channel refuted the news, our credible sources confirm the development.

Accordingly, the shooting has stopped and only the episodes that have been shot will air. Now, it is uncertain whether the channel will rerun the old episodes or completely pull off the show.

The crime series is primarily hosted by Sushant Singh and has been hosted by guests such as Mohnish Behl, Pooja Gaur, Saurabh Raj Jain, Shivani Tomar, Hiten Tejwani, Divya Dutta and Siddharth Shukla.

Savdhaan India has been the longest-running Indian television series in terms of episode count. So, with the plug pulled out, a legacy comes to an end.
