    Shemaroo Umang and Gul Khan Introduce ‘Shamshaan Champa’

    Mumbai: Shemaroo Umang has launched its latest venture in collaboration with producer Gul Khan. This dynamic partnership introduces the supernatural saga, Shamshaan Champa, a show that promises an epic journey of wonder and unexpected twists. The show debuted on 20 August 2024 and will air every Monday to Saturday at 9:00 PM exclusively on Shemaroo Umang. The show features actress Monalisa as Mohini, and the talented actors Trupti Mishra and Aayush Srivastava as Champa and Vikram respectively. The ensemble also includes actors such as Mohammad Nazim, Tia Gandwani, Indrajeet Modi, and Yash Bhatia in pivotal roles in this narrative.

    Gul Khan, celebrated for her work in the desi fantasy and supernatural genres, lends her visionary expertise to Shamshaan Champa. Created under the banner of Four Lions Films, the series chronicles the life of Champa, a kind-hearted small-town girl whose life takes a mysterious turn when a twist of fate leads her to revive as a powerful daayan. What unfolds is a narrative in which, against all odds, she chooses to use her newfound powers for good. With its blend of fantasy, romance, and compelling storytelling, the show is set to enchant the audiences.

    Shemaroo Entertainment COO- Broadcasting Business Sandeep Gupta shared, “We are excited to partner with Gul Khan for the launch of Shamshaan Champa. The supernatural genre has always captivated audiences, and Gul Khan, renowned as a trailblazer in this space, brings her creativity to this project. With its fresh take on the genre, this show will be a significant addition to Shemaroo Umang’s diverse programming lineup. Our goal is to present content with mass appeal, and we believe viewers will connect with the show.”  

    Producer Gul Khan said, “I am excited to return to the supernatural genre with ‘Shamshaan Champa.’ The show offers a new take on the concept of a daayan—a term traditionally viewed negatively. Champa, a sweet and helpful girl, due to the twists of fate is revived as a daayan. We have put great thought into the casting to bring this vision to life. Monalisa returns in a bold new role, offering a powerful portrayal of her character, while Trupti Mishra perfectly embodies the innocence required for Champa. Aayush Srivastav brings a dynamic, modern edge to Vikram, contrasting effectively with the traditional elements of the story. I am confident that the audience will be captivated by both the engaging narrative and the exceptional cast.”

  • This Navratri, Ishara brings a story invoking hope and faith – Mata ki Mahima

    This Navratri, Ishara brings a story invoking hope and faith – Mata ki Mahima

    Mumbai: IN10 Media Network’s general entertainment channel, Ishara, has announced the launch of its latest offering, ‘Mata ki Mahima’. This captivating show aims to rekindle purity in thoughts and actions, encouraging viewers to choose the path of righteousness and spirituality on the auspicious day of Gudi Padwa and the first day of Navratri.

    In a world often overshadowed by revenge and violence, ‘Mata ki Mahima’ stands out by presenting the divine power of Maa Sheranwali, who not only saves her devotees but also transforms her enemies. Through compelling storytelling, the show reinforces the importance of bhakti (devotion) in overcoming life’s challenges and finding inner peace.

    Set against the backdrop of Haridwar, Uttarakhand, ‘Mata ki Mahima’ draws inspiration from the timeless tale of Bhakt Prahlad and his father Hiranyakashyap. The show follows the journey of Mahima, portrayed by the talented child actor Pari Sharma, who finds herself pitted against her step-grandmother, Indrayni, played by the versatile Monalisa. As Mahima navigates through adversities and familial conflicts, she finds solace and guidance in Maa Sheranwali, portrayed by the esteemed television actress Reema Vohra.

    Monalisa, stepping into her first antagonist role on a daily soap, said, “I consider it a stroke of luck to join the cast of ‘Mata Ki Mahima’. While the show predominantly revolves around the devout bhakti of young Mahima towards Maa Sherawali, my character serves as the antagonist, challenging the belief in the goddess. Despite portraying a negative role, I am gratified that my character’s scepticism enhances the devotion to Mata Rani, especially through the portrayal of Mahima. Being part of a show that rekindles faith in Mata Raani within our viewers is truly fulfilling.”

    “We believe that ‘bhakti mein hai shakti’, and through ‘Mata ki Mahima’, we aim to showcase the transformative power of faith and spirituality,” said Jay and Kinnari Mehta of Jay Production. “Our narrative is not just about entertainment; it’s about inspiring self-realization and instilling hope in the hearts of our viewers.”

    ‘Mata ki Mahima’ promises to be a captivating journey filled with drama, emotion, and spiritual enlightenment. Join us as we embark on this divine quest to rediscover the essence of bhakti and celebrate the triumph of good over evil.

    Having its roots in the folklore of Savitri and Satyavaan, the festival of Vat Savitri is celebrated with much fervour in the Bhojpuri region. Women observe fast and tie a thread around the banyan tree praying for the wellbeing of their husbands. The festival reflects the love and bond shared between a husband and his wife that’s powerful enough to defy death like Savitri did for her husband Satyavaan. The custom is so predominant that it has been adopted in a host of Bhojpuri movies, too. This year when people are confined to their homes, entertainment will play a pivotal role in keeping the festive spirits high.

    Enthralling its audience with a special movie line-up, the channel will commence the festival with ‘Ghulami’ starring superstar Nirahua with gorgeous actress Madhu Sharma, who despite having lost everything in life does not lose the hope of bringing her husband back.

    The audience will soak in the fathoms of love on Tuesday as Zee Biskope will treat its viewers with a movie that’s true to its title, ‘Mohabbat’. The romantic blockbuster features Chintu Pandey and Kajal Yadav who profess their never-ending faith on each other. Namit Tiwari, Rani Chatterjee and Monalisa will make for a wonderful Wednesday in ‘GharwaliBaharwali’ which beautifully portrays the love a wife has for her husband that remains strong under all circumstances. Delighting viewers to their heart’s content, the superhit movie LekeAaja Band Baaja Aye Pawan Raja starring Pawan Singh perfectly showcases how the lead couple stands by each other’s side knitted together by the spirit of love & affection. Wrapping up the festivity with a power-packed performance by Nirahua and Anjana Singh in pivotal roles, ZEE Biskope will bring the mass entertainer ‘Jigar’.

    Zee Biskope and BIG Ganga business head Amarpreet Singh Saini said: “Given the unprecedented time we are going through, our role as content providers will be deeper and influencing. Thus, we have prepared our content strategy with the core intention of uplifting spirits along with regular dose of entertainment for our viewers. While people celebrate festivals in the region within the boundaries of their houses, ZEE Biskope will continue to keep the sense of celebration alive through its superlative collection of festive offerings. It is our constant endeavour to curate such exciting festive line-ups like Mother’s Day, Family Chokha Film Festival and now Vat Savitri special that can be enjoyed with your loved ones. We plan to present more such  content blocks in future to keep our audiences entertained.”

    Regaling audiences to their heart’s content, the channel stays true to its core proposition "AathonPahariyaLootaLahariya" (enjoy Bhojpuri entertainment throughout the day).

    The channel is available on Airtel (channel no 663), Tata Sky (channel no 1120), DEN Bihar(channel no 840), DEN Jharkhand (channel no 839), DD Free Dish (channel no 31), d2h (channel no 859), Dish TV (channel no 1555), Siti Cable (channel no 214) and Darsh Digital (channel no 189).
