Gurgaon: Bulging biceps and a flowing cape are some features that come to mind with the word 'superhero'. With an aim to change this stereotype, Zee TV launched its new offering “Maharakshak Aryan”, a fantasy show, at the Kingdom of Dreams here Wednesday.
The show narrates the story of a meek and nerdy boy Aryan, who stumbles upon his superpowers inherited through his family, when he turns 18.
"Maharakshak Aryan" has also incorporated the age-old Hindi cinema plot of the evil side trying to reclaim magical 'Mani' from the good side, to rule the world.
“We wanted to bring 'Mani', which is an integral part of our mythology, to television for the present generation. We are proud to bring our ancient roots back,” Akash Chawla, business head of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., said at a press conference.
