‘Savdhaan India’ axed overnight by Star Bharat
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.

EPIC Company unifies all brands under single EPIC identity
IN10 Media rebrand aligns TV, digital and films into one ecosystem
MUMBAI: The EPIC Company, formerly known as IN10 Media Network, has announced a sweeping brand consolidation, bringing its television channels, digital platforms and content IPs under a single identity, EPIC.
The move is aimed at simplifying the company’s structure while creating a more connected content ecosystem spanning television, digital and films. By aligning multiple verticals under one umbrella, the company is looking to present a sharper, more cohesive face to both audiences and partners.
As part of the transition, several channels have been rebranded to align with the EPIC identity. EPIC will now operate as EPIC TV, while Nazara becomes EPIC Bharat, Filamchi is now EPIC Bhojpuri, Gubbare transitions to EPIC Kids, and ShowBox is reintroduced as EPIC Music. Ishara will continue under the identity EPIC Parivaar, maintaining its core positioning.
The company has also refreshed EPICON, its streaming platform, to reflect a more unified and modern brand experience. The overhaul is designed to improve content discovery and create a seamless experience across platforms.
This consolidation follows the recent launch of EPIC Studio, a unified production arm that brings together Juggernaut Productions and MovieVerse Studio, as the company expands its footprint across films, OTT and television.
The EPIC Company managing director Aditya Pittie said, “As our scale has grown, it has become important to simplify how we operate and how we present ourselves to the ecosystem. This consolidation gives us a clearer, more future-ready structure to partner, invest, and build at scale, while ensuring that for viewers, the experience is more seamless and intuitive.”
With the rebrand, The EPIC Company is positioning itself as a platform-agnostic content network, focused on scale, simplicity and integrated storytelling. By bringing everything under one banner, it is aiming to make its content universe easier to navigate and harder to ignore.
