Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker says television ratings are important but he can’t take advantage of it for his TV show Everest as he has already shot all the episodes.
Unlike films, TV show makers have the chance to change the story line of a series depending on the ratings.
“Television rating is important because you get to know how many people watch your film. We can’t make use of it [high ratings] for Everest as we have already shot [all the] episodes. We can’t take advantage of it but it’s important,” said Gowariker, the show’s producer.
Meanwhile, Gowariker says he is happy with the response to Everest.
“[The] response has been great so far. We have tried to keep it as interesting as possible. I feel when you want to improve yourself, there is no end to that. So my idea is [to] work as much as you can before release; after that it’s not in your hands. I am glad that it has done well so far,” he said.
The show airs on Star Plus.
