Zee Anmol will premiere a new mythological epic series, Jai Malhar, that will surely enthrall hearts across the nation. The show is based on the courage, magnanimity and prowess of Khandoba (fondly known as Malhar) the warrior deity of Maharashtra. The show will bring alive Khandoba’s (Lord Shiva’s reincarnation) journey and touches upon his magnanimity and determination to protect others. Khandoba is also known for his marriage to two wives, back in the ‘Satya Yuga’ Goddess Parvati took a vow from Lord Shiva that when he would take birth as Khandoba in the ‘Treta Yuga’ then he has to promise to marry Jayadri Devi who will be reborn as Banai.
Produced and directed by Mahesh Kothare, Devdatta Nage is playing the male protangonist of Lord Khandoba while Isha Keskar is essaying the role of Banu in Jai Malhar. Portraying the character of Mhalsa, the first wife of Lord Khandoba in a mythological show is the talented actor, Surabhi Hande.
Surabhi said, “I consider myself lucky that I was selected to perform Mhalsa’s role in this serial. I just couldn’t say ‘no’ for this offer. It was a golden opportunity which came my way. Jay Malhar is a mythological serial and my character of Mhalsa has given me an opportunity to play something different. I am learning and enjoying a lot while doing this character. Different look, different attitude, I am also feeling some change within myself; I have changed a lot.”
Speaking about her experience shooting for the serial, she adds, “It is a great experience. There is a lot to learn from all those around. The most important thing I learned is about ‘timing’. All the artists guide and understand one another. I am quickly learning the technique of delivering the dialogues, as well as body language for this role as this is a mythological story. I am really enjoying every moment of this serial with all artists and my co-artist Mr. Nage.”
Khandoba is also known as Malhar fondly & worshipped across Maharashtra making him a deity for countless families across India. The show Jai Malhar is a story about Khandoba’s reign as the King of Jejuri and his life as a God on earth.
