Mumbai, September 22, 2026: Sony PAL is strengthening its programming slate with its upcoming mythological offering, Hastinapur Ke Veer. The show will bring to life the epic tale behind the making of the legends of the Mahabharata. Premiering on September 29 the show will air Monday to Saturday at 8 PM on Sony PAL. 

Hastinapur Ke Veer reimagines one of India’s most revered epics for contemporary audiences, offering a fresh and immersive perspective. It delves into the formative years of the Pandavas and Kauravas exploring their childhood, relationships, rivalries and the experiences that shape their personalities and destinies in the grand backdrop of Hastinapur. 

At its core, the show goes beyond larger-than-life moments to uncover the human stories beneath the bonds of brotherhood, the weight of expectations, the influence of upbringing, and the choices that define who they become. By focusing on these early years the show offers audiences a nuanced understanding of how these iconic characters evolve into the legendary figures known across generations.

Adding to its grandeur is a stellar ensemble cast bringing together some of the finest talents to portray these legendary characters with depth and authenticity. Produced by Peninsula Pictures the show features Toral Rasputra as Kunti, Athar Khan as Yudhishthir, Subhash Khatri as Bheem, Urva Savaliya as Arjun, Harit Gabani as Nakul, Mayank Yadav as Sahdev, Ayudh Bhanushali as Duryodhan, Shaurya Upadhyay as Dushasan, Jiten Lalwani as Dronacharya, Chandan Anand as Shakuni, Manish Wadhwa as Bhishm Pitamah among others. Mounted on a grand scale the show brings together breathtaking sets, intricate costumes and splendid production design that recreate the magnificence of an era defined by power, honour and destiny.

Toral Rasputra, actor said, “Playing Kunti has been an incredibly enriching experience for me as an actor. She is often remembered as a strong, composed mother, but what fascinated me was exploring the woman behind that strength, her fears, her sacrifices, and the emotional weight she carries as a mother shaping the future of her children. As an actor, it challenged me to portray both her inner conflicts and her outward strength with nuance. Audiences will see a side of Kunti that feels more real and relatable, not just as a mythological figure but as a woman, a mother and an individual whose decisions play a crucial role in shaping history.”

Manish Wadhwa, actor said, “I believe Hastinapur Ke Veer is more than just a mythological drama; it reflects values and life lessons that remain relevant even today.  For parents, Hastinapur Ke Veer is a powerful reminder that the greatest gift they can give their children is strong values and unwavering character. The story doesn't preach, it encourages reflection and gives us an opportunity to think about ourselves and our children.”
