Ekta Kapoor, 

Has Balaji convincingly outgrown the small screen? Yes. Indian television’s preeminent soaps factory now gets 65% of its revenues from movie production. Still, its relationship drama Ye Hai Mohabbatein, which premiered in the late primetime slot on Star Plus last year, made waves in showbiz circles. It reunited Balaji with the leading Hindi general entertainment channel; the two had an acrimonious divorce in 2008. While films like Shaadi Ke Side Effects, Main Tera Hero, and Ragini MMS 2 tasted varying degrees of success at the box office, Ek Villain was declared a blockbuster, grossing over Rs 100 crore.
