The much-loved historical comedy-drama ‘Tenali Rama’ is set to make a triumphant return on Sony SAB, premiering December 16 at 8pm. Known for its unique blend of wit, humor, and thought-provoking storytelling, the show promises to captivate audiences once again with fresh narratives and exciting new characters.
Krishna Bharadwaj reprises his role as the ingenious Tenali Rama, while Pankaj Berry returns as the ever-scheming Tathacharya. Joining the cast are:
• Aditya Redij as King Krishnadevaraya, adding a regal presence to the series.
• Sumit Kaul as the antagonist Girgit Raj, bringing a new layer of intrigue to the story.
The new season introduces Tenali Rama returning to Vijayanagar after being banned from the kingdom. The region faces an imminent threat, and Tenali is tasked with protecting the land using his legendary intellect, humor, and strategic prowess. Alongside his heroic efforts, Tenali mentors four young children, imparting life lessons through his unique perspective and experiences.
Set in 16th-century India, Tenali Rama remains a symbol of wisdom, resilience, and empathy. Rising from humble beginnings to becoming King Krishnadevaraya’s trusted advisor, Tenali’s story is one of overcoming ridicule and adversity. His ability to connect with both royalty and commoners made him a beloved figure whose lessons transcend time.
Ajay Bhalwankar, Business Head at Sony SAB, expressed excitement about the show’s revival, stating, “We are delighted to bring Tenali Rama on Sony SAB, a show that has made a mark on television by entertaining families across generations. Tenali’s wisdom and humor continue to be relevant in today’s world, and we hope his tales inspire and connect with viewers of all ages.”
