Zee Cinema to premiere ‘Super Nani’ on 11 April
MUMBAI: Hindi movie channel Zee Cinema, will premiere Indra Kumar’s family entertainer Super Nani. The social satire follows the life of a lovely grandmother transforming herself to gain the lost respect from her own family.
The film stars Randhir Kapoor, Rekha, Sharman Joshi and Anupam Kher. Zee Cinema will premiere the movie on 11 April at 9 pm.
Based on a Gujarati play Baa Ae Maari Boundary, the movie is centered on a doting, committed housewife Bharti (Rekha) whose selfish husband (Randhir Kapoor) and grown-up children have little patience around her. Treated only as a doormat, her life alters when her New York raised grandson Mann (Sharman Joshi) urges her to reinvent herself to regain her confidence and self-esteem. With this newfound support, Bharti channels her inner fashion-model and gets everyone at home all hot under the collar. High on comic quotient, Super Nani is a wonderful story that not only entertains but also helps you realize the importance of women in our lives.
Zeel deputy business head – Hindi movie channels Ruchir Tiwari said, “Super Naniis a universal story about celebrating womanhood. Being a homemaker is challenging for any woman yet she is the most unappreciated by her family. The film highlights that women are our backbone and that they need to be valued and loved. Rekhaji is an epitome of strength and beauty combined. She has been a source of inspiration for the women across all ages and watching her perform such empowering character is definitely a treat to the audiences.”
The channel will air a repeat of the movie on 12 April at 12 noon.

All content is drawn from Zee5’s extensive library and programmed in a lean-back, always-on format ideal for large-screen viewing. This launch strengthens Zee5’s Connected TV strategy at a time when 64 per cent of its premium content watch time already comes from connected devices.
