sandalwood star ganesh is back on television the second season of his game show super minute will be airing soon while the first season featured sandalwood celebrities as guests this time the show is open for the public this year the show follows two other tv shows hosted by top film stars season three of bigg boss hosted by sudeep has just ended while weekend with ramesh hosted by ramesh aravind continues to be a big draw with the audience like on previous occasions filmmakers are not happy with stars hosting shows on tv they blame these shows for weak box office collection of kannada films when they are on air however this time around the disconcerting voices in the film industry especially of producers is just a whimper sandalwood has come to accept that this is inevitable apart from game shows quite a few sandalwood stars like ravichandran jaggesh priyamani and aindrita ray are now seen on tv reality shows as judges tv shows with sandalwood stars are proving to be trp garners for kannada channels but due to the very high production costs it is not easy to make huge profits channels however have managed to successfully use these shows to promote their other programmes while it is a winwin situation for the channels and the audience film producers are left unhappy producer umesh banakar said we have no right to tell actors not to be on tv it is their commitment last year when many of us talked against it we did not ask for them to stay away completely the only suggestion was to accept shows that are aired after 930 pm so that box office collections of films are not affected producers are unhappy because tv channels are not purchasing satellite telecast rights right now no producer is in a position of strength to tell any actor not to be on tv nor are there any actors who will listen i would still request them to have a selfimposed embargo of 930 pm so that producers are saved
