The upcoming OTT platform Masak TV is set to bring a show titled "Hindutva," featuring Deepika Chikhalia and Anup Jalota. The term "Hindutva" often sparks thoughts related to one's inclination towards the Hindu way of life. The show aims to shed light on the real essence and strength of Hindutva, a force that sustains countless lives in the country.
Deepika Chikhalia, renowned for her portrayal of Sita in Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana, has already left an indelible mark on every Indian household with her association with the epic. Now, she is ready to make a distinct impact by bringing the essence of Hindutva into homes through Masak TV's OTT platform.
In the current scenario, discussions around Hindutva in India sometimes face accusations of being communal. However, the show seeks to challenge this narrative, emphasizing that the country's 110 crore Hindus have a cultural identity that deserves acknowledgment. The show's creators aim to present Hindutva as a source of pride, highlighting the need to continue the tradition in the face of global challenges.
The trailer of the show features a compelling dialogue by Anup Jalota, a renowned devotional singer and a key figure associated with Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana. Jalota questions what other country would accept the displaced Hindus if they were forced to leave India, emphasizing the unique cultural identity and refuge that Hindutva provides.
Director Karan Rajdan, associated with the project, expressed that the decision to delve into this subject was made with the intention of creating a meaningful film that could resonate with audiences worldwide. The film addresses the pain and conscience of the 110 crore Hindus, portraying their Hindutva as a vibrant and living tradition that must be preserved.
The production of the film, titled "Hindutva," is under the banner of Tag Productions, produced by Chiranjivi Bhatt and Anju Bhatt. The director of the film is Karan Rajdan. The music for the film, composed by Ravi Shankar, features voices like Daler Mehndi, Anup Jalota, Madhushree, Divya Kumar, and Master Salim. The cast includes Ashish Sharma, Sonarika Bhadoria, Anup Jalota, Deepika Chikhalia, and Govind Namdev.
Channel producer Mansi Bhatt expressed her excitement, stating that after a long time, a film is coming that will make the entire society proud. In a country where every issue is discussed, the topic of Hindutva was often neglected. However, with the construction of the Ram Temple and the increasing acceptance of Hindutva, the show aims to bring discussions about Hindutva into every household.
The show promises to be a significant and thought-provoking exploration of Hindutva, encouraging a positive dialogue about the cultural identity and values that have shaped the lives of millions in India.
