After announcing the return of the popular ZEE TV soap Pavitra Rishta, which aired between 2009-2014, ZEE5 has now dropped the teaser of the much-awaited reboot version of the show. Titled Pavitra Rishta… It’s Never Too Late, the reboot version has been developed as a limited webseries and stars Ankita Lokhande as Archana and Shaheer Sheikh as Manav.
Produced by Ekta Kapoor, who also produced the original show under Balaji Telefilms, the upcoming series is a romantic family drama centred around Manav and Archana, the quintessential daughter-in-law and son of every Indian family, and their two typical middle-class families.
Unlike other romantic dramas, Pavitra Rishta… It’s Never Too Late will see the beginning of a love story from where it was forced to end as Manav and Archana are conned into the sacred union of marriage by their families.
Since Pavitra Rishta… It’s Never Too Late is based on the concept of arranged marriage, ZEE5 collaborated with Jeevansathi for a marketing campaign where the latter started a bride and groom hunt for Manav and Archana respectively.
To find the perfect match for Manav and Archana, their profiles were put up on the social media handles of Jeevansathi where both characters defined their requirement for the perfect partner. In response, ZEE5 commented that Jeevansathi needs to look no further for the right partner for Manav and Archana and unveiled the teaser of Pavitra Rishta… It’s Never Too Late.
Actor turned producer Bhairavi Raichura's 24 Frames Production has helmed the digital series which will be exclusively available on ZEE5. Directed by Nandita Mehra, written by Nikita Dhond, Gautam Hegde and Ritu Bhatia, Pavitra Rishta… It’s Never Too Late will premiere on ZEE5 in September.

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.
