First ever musical reality show where ‘tradition
meets trends’ – Om Shanti Om.

Unveiling on 28th
August at 6 pm, the show will air every
Saturday and Sunday 9 pm onwards only on STAR BHARAT.

September 2017,
Mumbai: The
world is basking in love affair with rich Indian traditions. Be it yoga, Ayurveda,
meditation, cotton etc. India is truly taking centre in world stage. But
ironically, Devotional songs/Bhakti genre is now merely confined to caller
tunes. How do we keep this genre alive and relevant in today’s times?

In bringing about this change, Star Bharat’s philosophy of challenging
the norms and moving forward fearlessly is a perfect match. Their latest
offering in Hindi General Entertainment
space brings to its vast audience a show which is determined to give devotional
music a cool quotient – ‘a show format never explored and a genre
unheard of’.

Om Shanti Om, is a
musical stage of rare blend of tradition and trends, where contestants will re-invent
known devotional songs that appeal to modern India. Each episode of the show
will have contestants singing a familiar devotional song in a re-arranged form
which will test their versatility. This will be first time that TV shall
witness a genre not just being re-kindled
but re-invented.

The show that boasts of many firsts on Indian Television will also see the
debut of the epitome of devotion PP Swami
RamdevJi as ‘Maha Guru’ on television.
The show will also have country’s top Bollywood
names and singers extraordinaire – Sonakshi
Sinha, ShekharRavjiani and Kanika Kapoor. Aparshakti Khurana will be seen
as a host on the show. The set of the show has been designed by none other than
Bollywood best Omang Kumar.

Produced by Colosseum,
the show will present 14 participants who will lend their voices to the all re-arranged
devotional music composed by Bollywood
famous music composer Aditya Pushkarna.
A special episode will be aired to commemorate the launch of Star India’s new channel Star Bharat on Monday, 28th August 2017 from 6 pm to 8 pm. The
show will be aired every Saturday and Sunday at 9 pm. Om Shanti Om will be the ultimate torch bearer of ‘traditional’ music in India.

PP Swami RamdevJi said, “This is a great platform to bring out
devotional genre of music through interesting renditions unheard before. I am
delighted to be part of this show because it is everything that Indians are
proud of, our tradition, our culture and our faith. With OM Shanti OM, we will redefine devotional music in a way it appeals
to the youngsters today. “Bhakti wahi hai,
Andaz naya hai.”

Sonakshi Sinha said, “I
have always been spiritual and believe that music is the best way to reach any
level of spirituality.  Om Shanti Om is an extension of that
belief and I love the way it is combining contemporary and youthful music with
devotion! I am excited to be part of the show and completely sure that youth
will connect to it as well.”

Shekar Ravjiani who will
be seen judging the show, said “When I
heard the concept, I was amazed. This is the first time, where devotional songs
will be sung in the rearranged version on national television. Star Bharat as a channel is redefining
the genre of music reality shows on Indian
Television with Om Shanti Om.”

Excited Kanika
Kapoor said, “I am very excited to be the part of the show.  As a trained classical music singer under the
able hands of industry’s best Bhajan
Samrat Anup Jalotaji, I wish to focus on the technicalities as well as the
vocals of all the lovely contestants. With me as a judge on the show, I look
forward to contributing immensely to devotional music that is the heart and
soul of India.”
