Kher examines legal options over eviction from game show

The let’s-make-a-mess-of-it sorry saga continues at Zee Telefilms. Its decision to unceremoniously and injudiciously sackSawal Dus Crore Ka co-host Anupam Kher could see it getting embroiled in a legal tangle. The company has rattled the veteran anchor so much that he told a local daily that he was considering legal opinion as to how he should react to Zee TV’s decision to dump him and retain Manisha Koirala. 

“As per our contract they were supposed to inform me 60 days in advance in writing,” he said. “One expects matters to be handled in a professional manner.”

He revealed that his contract was for a year and spanned 156 episodes and that he had turned down five to six films to be part of the show. He added that he had not been informed officially about his termination and that he was awaiting official intimation.
