MUMBAI: As part of a promotion activity of his latest production, Paheli, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan will be hosting Ankahee Paheli, a half hour musical special, on Star Plus.

This marks the first time King Khan will be hosting a show to promote his film. Said Shahrukh Khan, "Though I was initially reluctant to reveal the story of the film, the execution and presentation of the special, which has never been done before, will keep the Paheli intact and the viewers guessing."

Ankahee Paheli will also show clips from the making of the film, the songs and also some on the sets sequences apart from the very Rajasthani theatre-like look created by Art Director, Muneesh Sappel for the film.

Also, on Saturday, 18 June at 8 pm, Star Gold, will have a Gold Preview of Paheli, showcasing some exclusive clips, making of the film, behind-the-scenes, interview with the director, actors and some of the finest scenes from Paheli.

The Shahrukh Khan-Rani Mukerji film, is directed by well known film maker Amol Palekar and also stars Juhi Chawla, Sunil Shetty, Anupam Kher and a cameo by the mega star Amitabh Bachchan.

Paheli, the story of a newly married girl and her ghost lover, is brought to the audiences by Shahrukh Khan interspersed with 14 songs and narration. In this special episode on Star Plus, instead of the typical interviews and clips from the film, the entire special will be presented in a colourful Rajasthani folk theatre style. Khan and the musical group from Avikalp Theatre Group will be dressed in traditional Rajasthani attire.
