Season 3 of The Buddy Project gets scrapped; Channel V to air two bi-weekly shows
Fans have been giving a mixed response to the news of Channel V’s popular show The Buddy Project coming up with a new and revamped season. The Sunshine Productions show was to bring a completely fresh storyline sans the girls and just the lead boys being retained from season two.
But here comes a shocker!
With just a few days to go for its airing (2 May), Tellychakkar.com has got to know that the season three of the show has been scrapped.
Yes, you heard it right! There will be no more of KD, Kiya, RV, Panchi, Piddi or Jaitley on your TV screen.
The show has been ruling hearts of the youth with the tale of a bunch of friends who have grown up together and now with them graduating from college, the characters were supposed to be shown settling down in their individual careers and opting for a new start in their lives.
We wondered if the decision to axe the show was the channel’s call, which is trying out new plots for its various shows, or by the production team who did not want happenings to go mundane in the show. Also with only few characters being retained, the audience seemed not really keen to watch the show anymore.
When we buzzed producer Sudhir Sharma he said, “All I can say is that it is a mutual creative decision between the channel and production team. The Buddy Project has enjoyed a successful run of over 400 episodes and been number one on the channel for a long time. We at Sunshine Productions are very happy and proud to have this association with Channel V. We will soon come up with more fresh and interesting shows.”
With this new development, Channel V will continue with the launch of the other two bi-weekly shows- Jhalli Anjali Ke Tootey Dil Ki Amazing Story and Yeh Jawani…Ta Ra Ri Ri in the 5:30 pm time slot.
These shows will go on air from 28 April and 30 April respectively as earlier reported by Tellychakkar.com.
The slot given to The Buddy Project will be covered by repeats of shows as of now till a new show gets sanctioned.
Prem Kamath, EVP and GM of the channel did not want to comment on the developments.
It would surely be a hard time for the fans to not be able to watch their favourite show and characters, but we are sure as Sudhir says there will be more interesting shows lined up for all.
Till then enjoy the two new fresh shows on the channel.
The Buddy Project
(TBP) {Sunshine Productions}, the popular show on Channel V that went
on air last year, has managed to find a place for itself in the long run
of youth centric shows on our TV screens.
The show, that won the Best Youth Show in our own The Indian Telly Awards, added another feather to its cap yesterday when it completed 300 successful episodes.
Talking on the same Fahad Ali, who plays the most loved character of KD, tells us, “It indeed is a great feeling. And every time we cross a century, the feeling of happiness takes over adding more responsibility of taking the show further to greater heights. TBP is our baby and my journey in the show has been very interesting. I hope it goes on and on for years.”
Echoing Fahad’s thoughts, his on-screen best friend Piddi (Nikhil Mehta) says, “It is a very happy moment for all of us to have completed 300 episodes. It is a mammoth number for a youth show as you cannot go on stretching any subject for long as compared to daily shows. TBP has come as a fresh whiff in the air to the genre of youth centric shows and I am proud to be a a part of it.”
The show that started off with school kids and their friendship has now moved over to college where a group of friends are battling hard between their career dreams and relationships. But the core bonding of their friendship still remains intact.
The cast and crew got together for a fun moment yesterday evening and even cut a cake on the set.
We at Tellychakkar.com wish the show great success in the near future.

The popular youth show on Channel [V] - The Buddy Project 2
(Sunshine Productions) has been striking the right chords with the
audiences with its enjoyable themes and real friendship bonding plots.
As a filmmaker named Guggu Kohli will visit The Imperial College to train the students on the art of film and acting; the buddies will be really excited to meet him.
And one who will be cashing on this opportunity the most will be the naughty Piddi (Nikhil Mehta).
A source informs, “Piddi will be asked to audition girls for the lead actress’ part and he will use this chance to flirt with them. He will be seen asking them on a date as a bribe to get the role.”
The filmmaker’s entry in the show will bring a lot of twists as the buddies will get together to produce an entertaining film that will be very close to their heart. And every one among the group will get to play an important part.
We called up Nikhil who confirmed the sequence, and sounding embarrassed he said, “Yes, Piddi will finally get to flirt legally with the girls and the best part is some girls would actually give him some importance too.”
Well, it will be interesting to see how this new phase brings changes in the lives of the buddies.
