COLORS takes storytelling to celestial heights with its first-ever space-based drama, ‘Apollena – Sapno Ki Unchi Udann.’ In a historic move, the channel has named a star Apollena, symbolizing the unyielding spirit of the show’s protagonist and inspiring dreamers to aim for the stars.
Premiering on December 3, 2024, at 6 pm, this groundbreaking drama follows the journey of Apollena, a small-town girl with an extraordinary dream—to become India’s first female astronaut. Portrayed by Aditi Sharma, Apollena battles societal prejudices, personal crises, and the weight of her father’s tarnished reputation, all while navigating the complex path to achieving her dream.
Her father, Girdhar Shukla, played by Sandeep Baswana, stands as her pillar of strength, despite being wrongfully branded a traitor. Together, they fight against odds, proving that no dream is too distant to reach.
Produced by Four Lions Films Private Limited and Katha Kottage Production LLP, the drama brings to life the cultural vibrancy of Lucknow while exploring the universal theme of aspiration. Through Apollena’s character, the series emphasizes the mantra #KarKeDikhaungi, showcasing how courage and resilience can overcome the toughest challenges.
The launch of ‘Apollena – Sapno Ki Unchi Udann’ is accompanied by a dynamic digital campaign featuring:
• AI-Generated Videos: Highlighting Apollena’s indomitable spirit.
• Influencer Collaborations: Sharing real-life stories of resilience and father-daughter bonds.
• Poetry and Storytelling: Led by creators like Gunjan Saini, adding emotional depth to the show’s themes.
With its powerful narrative, Colors aims to ignite a spark of ambition among viewers, particularly young girls, encouraging them to defy limitations and pursue their dreams. The show’s star dedication is a metaphorical reminder that the sky is not the limit—dreams are.
Mark your calendars for December 3, as ‘Apollena – Sapno Ki Unchi Udann’ debuts, airing every day at 6 pm on COLORS, promising to inspire audiences to reach for the stars.
