Zee TV is pulling out all the stops to increase its visibility at the ground level. To this effect it has announced a unique talent contest The Zee Mytho Show.

It will take place in ten major cities according to reports. The focus is on mythological serials Ramayan, Mahabharat and Jai Santoshi Ma.

Reports state that the programme schedule includes two fancy dress contests. One will see five to eight year olds participate. The other is for those in the nine to fourteen year age group. In addition there will also be a quiz contest for kids between nine and fourteen.

The show will be hosted by actor Swapnil Joshi who is known for his role in Sri Krishna. The Mumbai leg will take place at Rang Bhavan on 25 March from 5pm onwards.
