    Star Plus and Gul Khan brings to you Ishqbaaaz on 27 June

    MUMBAI: They are rich! They are powerful! They are the most talked about eligible bachelors in the country! They are the Oberoi Brothers, Omkara, Rudra and Shivaay. Three handsome heirs of a colossal business Empire, who have been bred with power, wear taste and attitude with innate flair and walk knowing that they simply own the world.

    After years of creating iconic and exceptional stories, STAR Plus is ready to give the audience a larger than life canvas with“Ishqbaaaz” that is a diffusion of vivid emotions like love and hate, revenge and redemption. Produced by Gul Khan under her banner4 Lions Films, the show is slated to go on air from 27th June at 10 pm on STAR Plus.

    Set in the backdrop of Mumbai, the Oberois are the modern day equivalent of Indian royalty who reek power and glamour but it is the bond between the current generation Oberoi brothers that is at the heart of the story of “Ishqbaaaz”.

    Shivaay Oberoi played by Nakuul Mehta lets his mind rule over his heart. A cut throat businessman for whom business and family lineage means everything, Shivaay strives to be the most powerful man in the world wearing his arrogance and pride on his sleeve. One can come face to face with his humane side only when he is with his siblings.

    Omkara Oberoi played by Kunal Jaisingh is an artist in his entirety and equally charismatic as his elder brother. He is caustic and blunt in his approach, a trait most artists possess but at the same time he is chivalrous and compassionate to people around him. His love for his brothers’ remains unconditional despite some difference of opinion he may have with the older one.

    Rudra Oberoi played by Leenesh Mattoo is the youngest, most handsome and the ultimate modern day metrosexual male who makes his way to a woman’s heart with his charming looks and his penchant for cooking. Vanity, thy name is Rudra, is a line that is written just for him. His wandering ways at times do land him in trouble but then his brothers always come to his rescue.

  • Star Plus reinvents its weekend programming with ‘Dance +’ season 2

    Star Plus reinvents its weekend programming with ‘Dance +’ season 2

    MUMBAI: With an aim to give more space and importance to fiction programming, Star Plus redefined its fiction programming by airing its primetime shows on all seven days from Monday to Sunday since February. All the shows between the 8.00 pm to 10.30 pm slots were aired on Saturdays and Sundays as well. The channel wanted to aggressively promote and back its fiction programming and this is why its reality show Nach Baliye season 8 has been kept on hold for at least two months.

    Also the channel had already extended its early primetime slot by stretching all the shows slotted between 5 pm to 7.30 pm to all seven days. Mohi – Ek Khawab Ke Khilne Ki Kahani, Mere Agne Mein, Suhani Si Ek Ladki, Saath Nibhana Saathithya  and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein.

    However starting 2 July, Star Plus will revive its non-fiction programming with its new offering Dance + season 2. The talent hunt produced by Frames Productions will be aired on Saturday and Sunday at the 8 pm time band. 

    Speaking with Indiantelevision.com, Frames Production founder Ranjeet Thakur said, “We received a good response for season one even though it was our first experience with the show. This time around, the second season will take the show to a higher level. The talent in this country is exceptional and audiences will see that in this season.” 

    For this season the makers have roped in talented choreographer Remo D’Souza who will don the hat of a super judge. Moreover, the show will have three mentors Dharmesh Yelande, Shakti Mohan and Punit Pathak who will be teaching the contestants and choreographing the acts. “This season we have Punit in the show as Sumeet Nagdev has some other engagements so he said no for this season”, informed Thakur.

    The makers have done auditions in 20 cities including Lucknow, Jaipur, Ranchi, Assam and all the metros and mini metros cities. 

    Dance+ will be a 26-episode show of one hour duration each. “There will be no change in the format as such, except we are moving to a one hour show on Saturday and Sunday, while during the earlier season it was a two hour show only on Sunday.” 

    The channel has roped in Hyundai as the presenting sponsor and co-powered by Cera and Oppo. 

    Star Plus’ new non-fiction offering, Dance + season 2  will be pitched against Zee TV’s  Tashan-e-ishq, Balaji’s new show on Colors Kawach at 8 pm on Saturday and Sunday, Sony TV’s Aadlat, Life OK’ s Savdhaan India and Sab TV’s Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma.
