    Rajshri Productions to make OTT debut with Bada Naam Karenge on Sony Liv

    MUMBAI: Rajshri Productions and the Barjatya family have regaled us with family-oriented movies for decades now. Whether it was Nadiya ke Paar or Jeevan Mrityu or Maine Pyar Kiya or Hum Aapke Hain Koun or the more recent Uunchai, families flocked to the cinema halls knowing what they were going to get: squeaky-clean-emotional-yet-entertaining- and-very rooted-in-Indian-culture fare.

    Now, the production house is  set to make its highly anticipated OTT debut with the series Bada Naam Karenge premiering on 7 February on Sony Liv. This heart-warming tale explores themes of love, family, and self-discovery, perfectly timed for the season of romance.

    Directed by Palash Vaswani, known for Gullak, and helmed by legendary showrunner Sooraj R. Barjatya, Bada Naam Karenge infuses a modern twist into traditional storytelling, remaining true to Rajshri’s legacy of heartfelt narratives.

    The series follows Rishabh and Surbhi, a Gen Z couple navigating their dreams while embracing the warmth of family values. Their journey intertwines love, tradition, and self-identity, aiming to evoke laughter, tears, and introspection.

    Showrunner Sooraj R. Barjatya remarked:  “Bada Naam Karenge is a labor of love that celebrates family and respect for tradition in a modern world. It bridges generational gaps, showing that Gen Z can be ambitious yet deeply rooted in values.”

    Director Palash Vaswani added:  “I believe the innocent romance that once graced our screens is missing from modern entertainment. This show aims to revive that beloved genre, offering a family-friendly experience that resonates with all ages.”

    The stellar cast includes Ritik Ghanshani, Ayesha Kaduskar, Kanwaljeet Singh, Alka Amin, and Jameel Khan, among others. 

    Bada Naam Karenge invites viewers to rediscover love and family values, showcasing moments that inspire and uplift.
