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.”
MUMBAI: Lights, camera… connection because this time, the game isn’t just about winning, it’s about who’s with you. Sony Pictures Networks India is gearing up to launch a new reality game show, Tum Ho Naa, expanding its unscripted slate with a format that promises both emotion and engagement.
The show will premiere soon on Sony Entertainment Television and stream on Sony LIV, with Rajeev Khandelwal stepping in as host. Known for his measured screen presence and selective choices, Khandelwal’s return to television adds a layer of familiarity and credibility to the upcoming format.
While specific details of the gameplay remain under wraps, the positioning suggests a reality format that leans as much on emotional resonance as it does on competition, an increasingly popular blend in Indian television, where audiences are gravitating towards content that offers both stakes and storytelling.
Khandelwal, reflecting on his return, noted that his choices have often been guided by instinct rather than convention, describing Tum Ho Naa as a project that feels “close to the heart”. His association also signals Sony’s continued focus on anchoring new formats with recognisable faces who bring both relatability and depth.
The launch comes at a time when broadcasters are doubling down on original non-fiction formats to drive appointment viewing, even as digital platforms expand parallel reach. By placing the show across both linear television and OTT, Sony appears to be aiming for a dual-audience strategy capturing traditional viewers while engaging digital-first consumers.
As the countdown to premiere begins, Tum Ho Naa positions itself not just as another game show, but as a reminder that sometimes, the biggest prize on screen isn’t the jackpot, it’s the journey shared along the way.
