Every Monday to Saturday at 8.30 p.m. on Shemaroo Umang, the show is ready to enthral audiences. The programme is also available to viewers on ShemarooMe, an OTT service.
This episodic fantasy drama will feature breathtaking visual effects and a larger-than-life set design.
Shemaroo Broadcasting Business COO Sandeep Gupta said, “At Shemaroo Umang, we aim to offer diverse content to entertain our viewers. Raazz Mahal is our first step into the fantasy-drama genre, and we hope that with the sheer dedication and efforts of the team, we live up to the expectations of the viewers and keep entertaining them on prime time.”
The show features a stellar cast of popular actors in lead roles, including Ridhiema Tiwari, Himanshu Soni, and Neha Harsora. The show has been ably supported by an ensemble of artists, including Preeti Puri, Himani Sharma, Ashish Drall, and Arina Dey in previously unseen avatars.
The thrilling fantasy drama revolves around Chandralekha (Ridhiema), an evil character who, in her quest to become immortal, engages in dark and wicked activities. She is pitted against Sunaina (Neha), a pure and kind-hearted soul who marries Adhiraj (Himanshu), the royal prince. He is an obedient and lovable individual who respects everyone but is especially close to Dakini. Shemaroo Umang delivers on her promise of bringing you unique and powerful stories with a thrilling tale of love, family, dark magic, and revenge.
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.
