Viacom 18’s latest offering Navrangi Re! which will be aired on Rishtey is all about giving a 'shit' about things.Viacom18 has partnered with the world’s largest philanthropic organization Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and development communications specialists, BBC Media Action to create this fiction series.
The show is a finite series of 26-episodes with an underlying behaviour message on sanitation. Produced by Swastik Productions, Navrangi Re! is the story of a lively mohalla in a town in Northern India full of quirky and endearing characters. It has a gamut of colourful characters- from a talking wall to a rich and ruthless diva to a spoilt brat to a strong female lead that refuses to give in, and an underlying monster that’s growing underground. It is the laugh-a-minute story of a community living on the edge, teetering from one crisis to another and then deciding to take control of their lives.
The series features Aamir Ali, Vaishnavi Dhanraj, Manmohan Tiwari, Sushmita Mukherjee and Raju Kher in important roles
Talking about the show Aamir Ali who will essay the role of Vishwaas said “I couldn't have asked for a better start to the year. Navrangi Re! is very close to my heart because the character of Vishwas is very relatable. He is fun and games yes, but he also has this hunger of doing something for the betterment of the society.”
Adding further Vaishnavi Dhanraj who will be seen Chitralekha averred, “Navrangi Re! urges you to #GiveAShit and take responsibility. It's actually my New Year resolution as well. I think everyone who watches this show will enjoy it, and take a message at the end of it. I couldn't have asked for anything better.”
Susmita Mukherjee who will portray Rajrani said “I've been part of many TV shows in my career, but this one will always be close to my heart. It's a finite series for once, something I've never done before, which means we have the added challenge of establishing our character in a shorter period of time. Also, the character is very Navrangi herself.”
The special guest who will be seen joining the Mohalla is the superstar Anil Kapoor, who is known to take roles he truly believes in.“Most people believe that talking about the cause of sanitation is boring. But Viacom18, being the powerful storytellers that they are, took it upon themselves to add a quirky twist to a seemingly mundane topic and made it funny. The cause is aligned with PM Narendra Modi’s vision of Swacch Bharat Abhiyan, and also very close to my heart. I agreed to do a cameo because I believe every small step brings change.”
Navrangi Re! is all set to premiere on February 2, 2019, on Rishtey.
