Mumbai: Zee Marathi has launched a mythological show Satyavan Savitri to offer a visual treat to the audiences with its spectacular 3D visual effects (VFX). It adds grandeur and takes viewers into different dimensions to enthrall them. Zee Marathi has become the first ever Marathi GEC to amp up the entertainment quotient with this brilliant move.
Over the last twenty years, Zee Marathi has established itself not just as a channel but as Maharashtra’s socioeconomic and cultural facilitator.

The cast of the show took this exciting experience too and were mesmerized by the output of the show.

Zee Marathi is visiting audiences across Maharashtra and showing them the magic behind the VR glasses. This unique promotional activity is leaving the audiences surprised.
Commenting on this, Zee Entertainment Enterprises chief cluster officer – north, west & premium channels Amit Shah said, “Zee Marathi is not just a channel but also a mirror to the cultural heritage of Maharashtra. The channel has always pushed its boundaries to enhance its offerings and present top-notch entertainment to its viewers. This time, Zee Marathi is not just offering the folklore of Satyavan Savitri but is bringing forth the most exciting visual treat to them with 3D VFX which offers an unusual viewing experience.

MUMBAI: Collective Artists Network is stepping boldly into the past to shape the future of Indian storytelling. The company has announced HistoryVerse, a sweeping new content slate dedicated to retelling India’s rich historical and mythological legacy for contemporary audiences.
Launched under the newly formed Collective Studios, the slate features eight history-inspired titles across theatrical films and web series, making it the largest such lineup announced in India to date. The stories draw inspiration from figures and traditions that have shaped the subcontinent for centuries, including Hanuman, Krishna, Shiva, Shivaji, Durga, Kali and Swami Samarth.
The already released Mahabharat series acts as the foundation stone for HistoryVerse, offering a glimpse into how deeply rooted narratives can be retold with scale, polish and a modern storytelling lens. Building on that momentum, three of the newly announced projects are being developed as feature films, while two will take the form of web series. More titles are already in various stages of development.
Collective says the focus is on detail and immersion at every step, from research and writing to visual design, aiming to make these stories feel expansive yet accessible, even for viewers who may not usually gravitate towards historical content.
Announcing the slate, Collective Artists Network founder and group CEO Vijay Subramaniam, said India’s folklore remains one of the country’s most underleveraged creative assets. “These stories sit at the heart of our culture and deserve to travel the world,” he said. “HistoryVerse is not just about films and series. It is about building an ecosystem of experiences, consumer brands and gaming that allows audiences to engage with these narratives in many ways.”
With HistoryVerse, Collective Studios is positioning itself for the long haul, betting that India’s oldest stories, told with contemporary craft, still have plenty of new ground to cover.
