If you are a diehard fan of Star Plus’ medical drama Sanjivani, here is an exciting piece of news for you. The popular show, which was rumoured to be bidding adieu to audiences in coming few weeks, has been given a three-month extension.
Producer Siddharth P Malhotra has confirmed that Sanjivani will stay on-air for yet another three months. However, it will move from its original 19:30 time slot to 18:30 time slot, with a new agreement in place from 25th January. “We finished our prior 6 months contract term on the 25th, and now it is extended to a new slot at 6:30,” Malhotra told an entertainment portal.
If the series succeeds in arresting audiences’ attention in the 18:30 slot, the channel can extend its run for a further six months. “3 months as per contract at 6:30, extendable to 6 months more,” added the producer. He also said that a number of twists and turns are in store to keep the popularity of the show alive in the 18:30 slot.
In the original 19:30 time slot of Sanjivani, Star Plus is introducing a new show titled Dadi Amma Maan Jaao. Buzz had it earlier that Rajshri Productions’ series was about to replace Yehh Jadu Hai Jinn Ka but due to its popularity, it has been extended.
The promo of Dadi Amma Maan Jaao, which focuses on the relationship between grandparents and theirs two granddaughters in a middle-class joint-family set up, has already hit the small screens. It stars Sheen Dass and newcomer Aangha Bhonsle in roles of granddaughters. The character of grandmother is played by National Award-winning actress Seema Biswas while Mohan Joshi will be seen in the role of grandfather. The show marks the small screen comeback of talented actors Seema Biswas and Mohan Joshi.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
