I wouldn't let fan outrage affect me, it's expected when you enter a running show, yes we wish he took up an outright lead role on a better channel but we don't know what kind of offers he was getting.
VJ himself in the interview said everything happened very quickly which to me means he was dying to get back to work, so IMO there was no other good option available. In May he talked of looking in some web series offers but these didn't materialize either.
We have to remember actors are offered roles, invited to auditions, there's very little they could do if they aren't given the right offers.
Anyways, the show will probably be off air in a month or two, so it'll end up being a cameo and picking wrong shows doesn't ruin careers, look at Namish he jumps from one show to the next although both his shows as lead were failures.
But I hope VJ knows that picking good shows/PH is more important than picking good roles and usually new ideas do worse than cliched ones, execution is what matters most, but at this stage of his career VJ can't afford to stay out of work for long, he'll be forgotten and sidelined.
