Major showdown between Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor 





   Mother-daughter duo who run Balaji Telefilms and Balaji Motion Pictures from over 2.5 decades together, have not been on the same page lately. The alleged fight is over the assignment of new CEO - Aman Gill, who has taken all Balaji Film productions under his wings. 


    Complaints from several Head of Department members have been floating against Aman Gill. As soon as  he took charge, he sacked Chief Creative Officer Tanveer Bookwala and is at loggerheads with Head of Development, Tushar Hiranandani. 


    Head of Marketing and Brands, Ruchikaa Kapoor and Head of Distribution, Vimal Doshi to have complained about Aman's interference and zero knowledge on films. Balaji lost a lot of money as Aman Gill predicted Kyaa Superkool Hai Hum 3 to be a huge hit, while it tanked and the makers had to repay the distributors. Similarly, Azhar flopped and Udta Punjab met a bad fate with censor board and its online piracy print. 


   Previously at Junglee Pictures, Aman Gill had refused to produce Udta Punjab, but soon after his appointment in Balaji, went on to take credit as a producer. Apparently Phantom and MSM Pictures too complained about the unpleasant experience of working with Gill. His appoitment as Creative Officer at Junglee Pictures came through his close link with the owners. 


  Yet Ekta Kapoor wants to give him some more time, while Shobha Kapoor is keen on sacking him. This had lead to a major showdown between the two. A trip to Tirupati and a havan in on the cards to ward off bad luck
