Balaji Telefilms Producer Ekta Kapoor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She is known for her saas-bahu <\/i>sagas, but producer Ekta Kapoor now wishes to adapt American series “Scandal” on Indian television. (#EktaKapoor, #BalajiTelefilms, #ABC, #Scandal, #Bollywood)<\/p>\n

\n

Starring Hollywood actress Kerry Washington, “Scandal” is a very popular political thriller TV series on the ABC Television Network in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Washington’s character, Olivia Pope, is said to be partially based on former George HW Bush administration press aide Judy Smith, who serves as a co-executive producer.<\/p>\n

“I would love to adapt ‘Scandal’ where the actress falls in love with the President. We also have a single Prime Minister. So, I think that would be a superb thing to do. I don’t think it is happening in the future yet but that is something I would love to do one day,” Ekta told PTI.<\/p>\n

Many American shows\/sitcoms are getting adapted here, nowadays, and the Balaji Telefilms’ creative director feels such series can achieve success only if they are Indianized.<\/p>\n

“I think a story needs to be solid whether it is Indian or Western, adapted or not and the story-telling should be amazing.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, stories from the West or South-Asia or any part of the world will get adaptation only if they are told with conviction and given a local flavor. And this will be the strength of the producer and content maker.”<\/p>\n

The TV mogul is back with a new show “Naagin,” which is a mystical thriller series. Ekta said she wanted to re-introduce the concept of Nagin<\/i> to the viewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
