&TV set to remake a hit Tamil show in Hindi

According to reports, &TV is gearing up to launch a new television show, titled Ek Thi Ardhangini. The series will be bankrolled by Essel Vision Productions, which has previously produced Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and Dance India Dance for Zee TV.

Essel Vision Productions is currently producing episodics for &TV's Laal Ishq. The supernatural series, which started airing a couple of months ago, is one of the highest-rated shows on the network.


Talking about the story of Ek Thi Ardhangini, we have learnt that the show is actually the remake of a hit Tamil series, Yaaradi Nee Mohini. The thriller show will have every possible ingredient that makes a show hit, like love, revenge and loads of drama.

Before being adapted in Hindi, Yaaradi Nee Mohini has been remade in several languages like Telugu, Kannada, Odia and Malayalam.

An official announcement is expected to be made soon.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
