Colors launches its new fiction show ‘Sherdil Shergill’
Mumbai: Colors is all set to launch its new show Sherdil Shergill. The show will premiere on 26 September, from Monday to Friday at 8:30 p.m.
Produced by Parin Multimedia, the serial will present popular actors Surbhi Chandna and Dheeraj Dhoopar in the lead roles.
Determined to make a mark in the male-dominated career of architecture, Manmeet Shergill is a fearless woman who has all her life fought societal norms. Rajkumar Yadav, born with a silver spoon, a comedian by passion, and an architect by education, has a knack for jugaads and is forced into architecture by his family. As different as chalk and cheese, what happens when the worlds of these two individuals collide, and the adventure ensues?
Colors’ latest show Sherdil Shergill brings you the story of Manmeet and Rajkumar, who are poles apart but find themselves tied together by fate.
Even though their ideologies differ, they are both unequivocally set on fulfilling their dreams. Popular actors Surbhi Chandna and Dheeraj Dhoopar will be seen essaying the lead roles of Manmeet Shergill and Rajkumar Yadav respectively.
Speaking of this new show, Viacom18’s chief content officer (Hindi mass entertainment) Manisha Sharma said, “Delivering variety content, novel storylines, and inspirational characters, have always been our core focus at Colors. Our latest offering, Sherdil Shergill is about two contrasting personalities, and their determination to fulfill their career ambitions despite societal and parental pressures. The viewers will relate to the characters’ trajectories, their professional journeys and their engrossing love story. We are excited to join hands with Parin Multimedia yet again for a promising new venture.”
