MUMBAI: Haven’t planned your weekend yet? Get ready to witness an epic adventure filled with edge-of-the-seat thrills as Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior is all set for a World Television Premiere on Star Plus, the leading Hindi General Entertainment Channel on Sunday, 26 July 2020 at 8pm. Directed by Om Raut, this magnum opus brings the three superstars of Bollywood Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, and Kajol together on the silver screen for the very first time. The movie also features Sharad Kelkar and Luke Kenny in pivotal roles.
Based on the biography of Subedar Tanhaji Malusare, the film brings to light how Chhatrapati Shivaji's right-hand man puts his sharp acumen against the brawn of ruthless Mughal chieftain Udaybhan Singh Rathore to recapture Kondhana for the Maratha Empire.
Commenting on the same Star Plus Channel Spokesperson said, “Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior is one of the highest-grossing films of 2020. We are excited about its World Television Premiere on Star Plus. Going forward, we will host movie premieres for wholesome family entertainment on Sundays and this thread starts with Tanhaji. Viewers will witness Big Blockbusters on Sundays in the coming days.”
Talented Actor Ajay Devgn says, “Tanhaji-The Unsung Warrior is my 100th film. So, it’s a landmark. The film is significant because it’s the story of an unsung hero who played an important part in Indian history. This is a movie that every Indian should watch. I am eagerly looking forward to the viewers of Star Plus to experience this visual extravaganza. I know Tanhaji's bravery and his dedication to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj will resonate. He’s a warrior who must be celebrated even today."
Further Actor Saif Ali Khan says, “I was thrilled to get a role like Udaybhan and to be a part of a magnum opus like Tanhaji. Ajay and I have been co-stars and friends for decades and it was wonderful to collaborate again on this particular movie. I see Tanhaji as a salute to the brave Maratha blood. It celebrates the sacrifices they have made, always bearing a smile. I will always be thankful to Om for making my character what it is and guiding me all the way. I am very excited for the World Television Premiere of Tanhaji on Star Plus and am surely going to watch it with my family on 26th July at 8 pm.”
The film received positive reviews from critics, who praised the action sequences, cinematography, performances, and visual effects. Tanhaji’s story created such an impact that it got remade in Marathi. All these facts are strong validations of how much the storyline resonated with audiences.

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.
