ABC is ramping up its efforts to move its development process off-cycle and has rebranded it a “second cycle.”
ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke told Deadline that it is currently budgeted for around 16 comedy and drama pilots but that this total would include pilots orders picked up outside of the traditional January to March window.
Burke took over from Channing Dungey in December 2018, leading to her having to jump straight into the process last season. “We’re starting earlier than we did last year with some of these pick-ups. We were late last year and I don’t want to make pilots just to fill slots. We’re calling it a second cycle of development. Shows need time; we’re going to take a couple and take time and do a second cycle,” she said.

As Shalini, who sets out on an arduous 16-year-long search for her missing daughter born out of a 'mixed' marriage in the latest dystopian show "Leila", actress Huma Qureshi felt challenged to push her boundaries and play the role with full justice and honesty.
Based on Prayaag Akbar's 2017 novel of the same name, "Leila" showcases the fight of Huma's character for her lost daughter amidst undesirable situations and frightening experiences in the fictional world of Aryavarta.
"It has been a gratifying journey for me. It have never played such a strong character before this show. With this character, I have pushed myself as an artiste. I really had to go deep into the story.

Actor Manoj Bajpayee is the recipient of two National Film Awards and India's fourth highest civilian award, Padma Shri, but he stills considers himself a common man from Bihar who has to keep working hard to survive in a dream city like Mumbai. The actor, who turned 50 on Tuesday, feels that he still has a long way to go. "I am not Padma Shri Manoj Bajpayee. I am Manoj Bajpayee, an outsider who saw dreams and stayed on the fringes of Mumbai and worked day and night to get work. For my contribution to Hindi cinema, I was felicitated with Padma Shri. I am happy to get such an honour but it does not mean I will stick around it only," Manoj told Ians in a telephonic interview.
"It is important to move on from the laurels of the past. I can't let success go to my head. These awards...

Much like the children of other Bollywood celebrities, actor Ajay Devgn and Kajol?s 15-year-old daughter Nysa and 8-year-old son Yug, get a lot of media attention and are often targeted by social media trolls.
In an interview, Devgn, a protective father, said social media users should not judge his children. He said, "Judge me, but don't judge my kids. Kajol and I are the actors, judge us... it's because of us, our children are under the spotlight every time."
"Being judgmental about someone is not a good thing. If I start passing a judgment on someone, that person would obviously feel bad... so do my children," he added.
The Singham star, who was in Delhi to promote his forthcoming film Total Dhamaal, said, "Honestly speaking, those people don't really matter. But I feel bad sometimes when my kids go through such harsh trolling."?
