It is a complete package’: Prerna Lisa about her release Badi Heroine Banti Hai
Mumbai: – Amazon miniTV – Amazon’s free video streaming service recently released its rom-com series, Badi Heroine Banti Hai. Capturing the essence of romance, drama, thrill, and mystery, the series chronicles the story of Kajal as she moves to Mumbai from a small town and her fates get tangled with her CEO Advait, igniting a love-hate relationship between them. Prerna Lisa who essays the character of the quirky and fun-loving Kajal, recently shared her thoughts on the series.
Talking about what makes the series special and distinct from other rom-coms, Prerna Lisa shared, “I think the fact that it has everything is what makes it so special and different. You can’t specify it or categorize it in any particular genre. Though it shifts towards an angle of romantic drama, it also is a beautiful amalgamation of thrill, mystery, comedy, and all the things that you might or might not expect from a series. It is a complete package for sure.”
Talking about the series Prerna further shared her thoughts, saying, “It will surely be Badi Heroine Banti Hai since it is a romantic comedy. And I have already seen it, so hands down it is my favorite.”
Created by Gul Khan, Badi Heroine Banti Hai features Prerna Lisa, Rajeev Siddhartha, Nehal Chudasama, and Utkarsh Kohli in pivotal roles. The series is streaming exclusively on Amazon miniTV for free, available on Amazon’s shopping app, on Fire TV, and Play Store.

Applause, Story TV team up to push microdrama content
Partnership to create premium short form shows for mobile first viewers
MUMBAI: Applause Entertainment and Story TV are betting on short attention spans with a long-term vision, joining forces to create a slate of premium microdramas for mobile-first audiences.
The partnership brings together Applause’s storytelling pedigree and Story TV’s fast-growing digital reach, with plans to co-produce and distribute bite-sized dramas across genres. As part of the deal, Story TV will also adapt the romantic thriller Hello Mini into a vertical microdrama format, signalling a shift in how stories are being reshaped for smaller screens.
Backed by the Aditya Birla Group, Applause Entertainment has built a reputation for high-quality content with titles like Scam 1992 and Criminal Justice. Story TV, launched in 2025, has quickly scaled up with a library of over 1,000 titles across languages and genres, riding the wave of mobile consumption.
Story TV founder and CEO Saurabh Pandey said, “Phones are now the primary screens for content consumption, and microdramas are evolving into a mainstream format. At Story TV, we are blending storytelling with technology to push this format further.”
He added that the collaboration with Applause Entertainment will help expand the reach of microdramas while introducing a layer of premium storytelling to the space.
Applause Entertainment chief business officer Prasoon Garg said, “At Applause, we have always focused on strong storytelling across formats. As microdramas gain momentum, this partnership allows us to explore the space with a platform that understands both the format and its audience.”
With mobile screens shrinking and content getting sharper, the collaboration hints at a future where storytelling is not just shorter, but smarter, designed to fit neatly into the scroll of everyday life.
