MUMBAI: Bollywood channel Zoom is expanding its portfolio of shows with the launch of 'Bollywood Big Story'. The bi-monthly news feature show will pick up the current and hottest topic doing the rounds in Bollywood and showcase the views and opinions of who's who from the industry. The current talk of the town is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's pregnancy and how it has impacted Madhur Bhandarkar's film 'Heroine' that she had signed. This will be the first Big Story on the show. The first episode that airs on 16 July at 12:30 pm will also witness the opinions from Bollywood on the issue of pregnancy clause being added to the contracts of actresses. Some of the views captured are that of Karan Johar, Mahesh Bhatt,Sushmita Sen, Ram Gopal Varma, Ashok Pandit, Bhawna Somayya and Femina's editor - Tanya Chaitanya . Acclaimed directors of the industry Mahesh Bhatt and Ram Gopal Varma, though in a very diplomatic manner, support fellow director Mahur Bhandarkar. Zoom CEO Avinash Kaul said, "While we pride on the
fact that when it comes to Bollywood news we are the destination of choice not just for our viewers but Bollywood stars alike, we do realise that certain topics and stories need a more in-depth analysis/ debate and opinions of people directly or indirectly involved. Hence, Bollywood Big Story is aimed exactly at such in-depth probing of stories which deserve more than a shorter news piece."
