Contiloe Pictures to reboot their historical series Jhansi Ki Rani for Colors

According to reports, Contiloe Pictures is set to reboot one of their most popular shows, Jhansi Ki Rani.

The historical drama, based on the life of Queen of Jhansi and great freedom fighter Lakshmi Bai, originally aired on ZEE TV in 2009-2011 and was one of the top-rated shows on the network.


Now, almost 8 years later, Contiloe Pictures has decided to launch a new version of the much-loved series. However, the new show will not air on ZEE TV. The production house has, reportedly, collaborated with Colors for the same.

The makers will introduce a few changes in the storyline and an entirely new star cast is to be put in place to star in the project.

If reports are to be believed, the production house is planning to begin production in January or February, next year.

When Jhansi Ki Rani hit the small screen almost a decade ago, the VFX quality of Indian shows was not up to the mark. But a lot has changed over the years. We believe that the makers are going to use the best technology and manpower to make a highly entertaining and visually appealing series.

More details are awaited.

Young British Asians finally get a platform on BBC Asian Network to talk identity, mental health and work life

Highlights:

  • BBC Asian Network is starting a new show called Asian Network Trending.
  • The show runs for two hours every week and is made for young British Asians.
  • It covers the topics that matter most to them like what’s trending online, questions of identity, mental health etc.
  • Amber Haque and the other hosts will share the show in turns, each talking about the issues they know and care about.
  • The network is moving to Birmingham as part of bigger changes behind the scenes.

Speaking up isn’t always easy. This show gives young people a space where their voices can be heard. Music on the radio, sure. Bhangra, Bollywood hits, endless remixes. But real conversations about identity, family pressure, mental health? Rarely. Until now.

From 27 October, Asian Network Trending goes live every Wednesday night for two hours of speech instead of beats. The first hour dives into trending news; the second hour goes deeper into family expectations, workplace racism, LGBTQ+ issues, and mental health stigma. And it’s not just one voice. Amber Haque and other rotating presenters keep it fresh.
