MUMBAI: Zee Marathi pulled off a launch fit for a legend with its new show Kamali, rallying over 3,000 schoolchildren in Thane for a mass chanting of the sacred Shivstuti, a tribute to Maharashtra’s iconic warrior king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The thunderous homage, led by the show’s protagonist Kamali (played by Vijaya Babar), wasn’t just devotional; it was historical. The event has earned a proud place in the World Records Book of India.
Held on 28 June at the Saraswati Mandir Trust Ground, the high-decibel spectacle began at 10:30 AM and turned into a moving celebration of Marathi pride and cultural legacy. Kamali’s lead cast – Vijaya Babar, Ketaki Kulkarni (Anika), and Nikhil Damle (Rishi) — joined the children in chanting, bringing added star power to a moment steeped in emotion and grandeur.
The energy was electric. As chants soared and saffron flags fluttered, Zee Marathi received a formal certificate and medal for the record-breaking feat — a public relations dream and a symbolic launchpad for a show steeped in valor, tradition, and female strength.
With Kamali, Zee Marathi is clearly not here to tiptoe. It’s charging in, script in one hand and sword in the other.
