Swastik Productions, one of the leading production houses in Indian television space, known for producing such successful shows as Mahabharata, Karmaphal Daata Shani and Porus, is set to bring a new show called Jalsa.

In the past, the production house has mostly produced historical and mythological dramas for various leading Hindi entertainment channels. But this time around, the makers are planning to tackle a new genre.


Yes, their new show Jalsa will be a rom-com, something which the production house has never attempted before. ‘The casting for Jalsa will begin soon, and the show is being pitched to top GECs. Sony TV and Colors are their top choices,’ a source reveals.

The same production house has also launched a new mythological show Radha-Krishna on Star Bharat.

  • Earlier names were featured at moments of global crossover or cultural influence
  • The list shows how international visibility shapes recognition

Ranbir Kapoor’s inclusion in the TIME 100 Most Influential People list for 2026 places him in a rare group of Indian actors who have featured over the years. While the list spans global figures across industries, representation from Indian cinema has remained limited, with only a handful of actors making the cut at key moments of international visibility. Kapoor now joins that short list, adding a new chapter to how such influence is being defined.
