‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’ producer Gajendra Singh quits Zee TV

MUMBAI: Zee TV’s star producer (Antakshari, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa) Gajendra Singh has put in his papers, after a long stint at Subhash Chandra’s flagship channel.

Singh is charting out on his own and with plans to set up his own production boutique.
Singh’s association with the channel will, however, remain as he will continue to do commissioned shows for Zee TV. Confirming the development, Zee TV business head Punit Goenka said, “Gajendra will be starting his own production house. However, he will continue to be associated with Zee TV doing projects for us.”

Earlier this year, rumours were rife in the industry that Singh was likely to join rival networks (notably Star).

Singh has been the creative mind behind the concept of reality shows like CloseUp Antakshri, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and the recent chart topper Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil’ Champs. Over his years at the channel he had taken the programme to the UK, USA, Middle East, Europe, all the while improving the format.
