MUMBAI: Star Plus is all set to launch a new series revolving around the hotel industry. Called Gulmohar Grand, the finite series will be of 26 episodes, wherein each episode will have a different story.

The show is slated to launch on Star Plus on 3 May. The weekly show will be aired every Sunday at 10 pm.

Giving an insight into the world of a Five Star hotel, Gulmohar Grand will not only showcase the glamorous and luxurious world of hotels but also gives an insight in the world of hotels in a way that has never been seen before on Indian television.

Produced by Sunshine Productions, the show stars Gaurav Chopraa and Aakansha Singh in the lead role and is being shot in a hotel in Mumbai.

Sunshine Productions’ Sudhir Sharma said, "When you shoot in a live environment, you get to learn a lot of things about what's happening in the real world and therefore, it is easier than creating a set for it. Following a certain schedule also has its cons, but since the hotel is functional, the benefits are much more. Even if we would have built a set, we could not have brought the kind of live environment that the current hotel is giving us."

The show is going to face a tough competition with DID Super Moms on Zee TV, Savdhaan India on Life OK, Comedy Nights with Kapil on Colors, CID on Sony and Yam Hain Hum on Sab.
