Zee Tamizh ropes in Sudha Chandran to anchor reality talk show
MUMBAI: Zee Tamizh has roped in ace dancer and actor Sudha Chandran to host its reality talk show Solvathellam Unmai.
Solvathellam Unmai plays a crucial role in resetting the moral compass of the nation. The show deals with genuine life stories of people and portrays positive societal values for building a tolerant and harmonious India. The show educates and involves people in reversing the erosion of values in the society, thereby making the society a happier and safer place to live in.
In the past, the show has paved the way to solving many murder mysteries, has unveiled the issues on hidden cameras and has also stumbled upon the startling revelation of an on-going prostitution racket in Tamil Nadu where many victims happened to be young female college students, pushed into the commercial flesh trade, lured by ample money.
Zee Tamil business head Easwaran said, “Solvathellam Unmai is more of an awareness and socially relatable show that aims at bringing change in every individual in the way they look at and contribute to the society. The show instills hope and positivity in every individual who faces various ordeals in life. Sudha Chandran is a perfect picture of success – her zeal and dedication has made her successfully cross all hurdles to become what she is now. She resonates the values of this show and thus is the right person for taking this show forward.”
Solvathellam Unmai, with Chandran as anchor, will be aired from 1 June from 8.30 – 9.30 pm.
