ALTBalaji and ZEE5’s magnum-opus Paurashpur, a tale of power, lust, betrayals and fight for rights, that will leave you in awe! Binge-watch the 7 episodic epic drama now!

The wait is finally over, as ALTBalaji and ZEE5 are set to take us all into the entertaining world of ‘Paurashpur’, a kingdom intoxicated by gender struggles, royalty, betrayal, and vendetta.

Appreciated as Indian OTT’s first epic fictional fantasy drama, ‘Paurashpur’ features renowned names from the film and television industry, including the legendary actor Annu Kapoor, Shilpa Shinde, Milind Soman, Sahil Salathia, Anantvijay Joshi, Poulomi Das, Aditya Lal, Ashmita Bakshi, Kashish Rai, and Flora Saini among others.

As royal and regal as it appears in the magnificent trailer and intriguing posters, ‘Paurashpur’ has been creating noise for all the right reasons and trending at the number 1 spot of IMDB’s most anticipated new Indian movies and shows. Interestingly, it’s considered the only web show promoted across different cities, including Lucknow, Bhopal, and Delhi post lockdown.

Speaking about the encouraging response, Annu Kapoor says, “This web series represents male chauvinism right from the beginning of the title of the show Paurashpur (the literal meaning is the domain of male). It is a period fiction drama depicting basic human emotions such as greed, lust for power, and gender discrimination, predominantly in visual substance. I am quite hopeful that the audience will enjoy it having their choicest ingredients in it.”

Milind Soman, who has been making waves with his striking character look, adds, “My character Boris in Paurashpur is one of the most mysterious characters that I have ever played on screen. And that’s one of the major reasons why I agreed to do this. While I was initially offered the King’s role, I found Boris’s character quite interesting since he is someone who stands for the woman of the kingdom, against the King. So, the more complex the character is, the more interesting it gets.”

Raising the hotness quotient in the show, Shilpa Shinde informs, “It was just wonderful working on a show like Paurashpur and sharing screen space with such fabulous and talented actors. It is a very entertaining show that touches upon a few critical issues that even existed in those days and even today. There are a lot of mystery elements in the show, which makes it even more exciting.”

Binge watch the first 7 episodes of ‘Paurashpur’ streaming now both on ALTBalaji & ZEE5!
