    Submitted by ITV Production on Mar 05

    MUMBAI: SAB TV?s much loved show FIR has garnered a tremendous viewer response and is all set to take an exciting 20 year leap where the lead protagonist of the show will be ?Jwalamukhi Chautala?, played by the power packed actress, Chitrashi Raw t. The 20 year leap ensures double entertainment and action as the powerful characters such as Jwalamukhi Chautala, Gopi and Billu continue to indulge in entertaining antics while they attempt to solve cases. With the increasing crime rate in Ravanpur, the docile, innocent Jwalamukhi Chautala transforms into a fiery woman who leaves no stone unturned to stand up for the right things in life. The atmosphere in Ravanpur changes for the good after the entry of Jwalamukhi who takes over Iman Chowki with her unique style of simplicity as well as dabbang attitude.

    The show produced by Edit 2 productions will air on March 16th 2013 at 9.00pm, only on SAB TV.

    Speaking about the leap; Mr. Anooj Kapoor, EVP and Business Head, SAB TV, ?Since inception, FIR has received an overwhelming response from the viewers and it continues to generate popularity. Backed by a powerful concept and strong characters that redefined television, the show has been a runaway success. The 20 year leap has been conceived to add more elements of entertainment to the show. We are confident that with the new cast and a progressive storyline, the viewers will continue to enjoy the show.?

    Taking over the mantle of Jwalamukhi Chautala, Chitrashi Rawat shares more about the show, ?I am truly honored to be a part of the FIR team and moreover, to play the successor of Chandramukhi Chautala. My role is that of a sweet shy bespectacled girl who believes in pleasing people who turns into a super woman when she sees atrocities committed against women. This avatar of mine will make my viewers see the resemblance between me and my mother. I?ve given my best shot as Jwalamukhi Chautala and I hope my audiences love me in my new avatar.?

    With the 20 year leap, the story progresses with Chandramukhi Chautala being transferred and ever since, the crime rate in Ravanpur has been out of control. This becomes a serious situation and requires the appointment of someone as fierce as Chandramukhi Chautala. This marks the entry of ?Jwalamukhi Chautala? who succeeds her mother and is the perfect match for the position of a Sub Inspector. She has a strong personality and changes the atmosphere of Ravanpur by taking her dabang mother?s avtaar.

    FIR boasts of a strong cast comprising of Chitrashi Rawat, Gopi Bhalla, Sandeep Anand, Sapna Shikarwar, Dipesh Bhan, Manju Sharma, Prana Mishra, Mohit Mattu, Suresh Chatwal and Nirmal Soni. Watch FIR every Saturday at 9:00 p.m. only on SAB TV.
