Mumbai, March 19, 2009

Bringing distinctive concepts and storylines alive on television, STAR Plus, India’s most preferred Hindi General Entertainment Channel, promises more interesting, larger than life and endearing characters that will not only entertain but also inspire. The latest offering - Shaurya Aur Suhani, produced by Sunjoy Wadhwa’s Sphere Origins, is a story about bravery and the fight against injustice, as also a story of love and pride.

Premiering on March 21 at 8 pm, the one hour adventure series will air every Saturday and Sunday. Shaurya Aur Suhani is a story of a brave and good hearted young man, Shaurya, who is unaware that he’s the Prince of a royal family and his struggle to regain his kingdom. This fight and struggle is intertwined with his romantic love story with Princess Suhani. It portrays love story of two human beings, who are separated by class and find their way to each others heart.

Commenting on this series, Shaurya Aur Suhani, Vivek Bahl, Senior Creative Director, STAR Plus said, "With Shaurya Aur Suhani, we aim to bring one of the most colourful and quintessentially romantic swashbuckling adventures in Indian television history. Our endeavour is to make it a classic in adventure stories. It’s smart, well written with great characters and witty dialogue. There is lots of action and seemingly impossible to escape situations, but once again the villains will be defeated. And let’s not forget humor and romance." He also adds, "Character building is the key to story-telling; we aim to create endearment towards the character to the point of audience empathising, or in parallel, living that character. We have successfully built characters like Mihir-Tulsi, Om-Parvati, Juhi-Sumeet, Sujal-Kashish, Sadhna-Alekh, Ragini-Ranveer, Rani-Yudhisthir, Prithwiraj-Sanyukta in the past and hope that viewers will similarly relate to Shaurya Aur Suhani. The charisma, emotions and the warmth between the two leads and the other characters is sure to leave the viewers asking for more."

To suit the mega screenplay designed for this show, STAR Plus introduces Saurabh Pandey as Shaurya & Srithi Jha as Suhani and they will join the galaxy of actors including Manish Wadhwa as Takshak and Vineet Kumar as Simha playing the consummate small screen villains from the line–up of new talented actors. The other actors who are a part of this adventure series are Manoj Verma, Shaji Choudhary, Lilliput, Rohit Purohit, Roshmita, Ankit Shah, Rahul Dosani and Geeta.
