MUMBAI: Sahara One Television has launched yet another new primetime show with a strong female protagonist. Sati… Satya Ki Shakti will be aired in the 8 pm slot from Mondays to Fridays from 29 May and will replace Buniyaad.

What's interesting here is that the story has been penned by Rang De Basanti writer Kamlesh Pandey and his team of writers. Sati… is about a victim of rape, who fights for her rights, challenges the decisions of the law and attains justice. The show revolves around an all women law firm who are shown to be fighting their personal and professional battles at home and in the court.

The show has been produced by Percept Picture Company and is directed by Hemant Prabhu.
Sahara One Television COO Purnendu Bose said, "Sati… Satya Ki Shakti is the story of today's changing times, where women are speaking up not only for themselves but for others as well. This show is yet another colour and feather in the cap of Sahara One Television entertainment basket – Television Ka Naya Rang. This is a story about one woman's fight against the atrocities committed against other women. Above all, it sends out a message of hope that justice will prevail if women stand together in times of adversity."

Pandey added, "Sati… Satya Ki Shakti is a meaningful subject, which means the 'power of truth.' It is a unique concept on Indian television where the dividing line between fiction and reality almost disappears."

Yet again, Sahara One has made an attempt to dish out something different from the staple TRP topping kitchen politics on Indian television. The channel's other shows with strong female protagonists include Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, Haare Kaanch Ki Chuudiyan, Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai and the most recent – Suno… Harr Dill Kuchh Kehtaa Hai.
