Mumbai: Colors Tamil is set to premiere a new fiction show “Meera” on 28 March starting at 9:30 p.m, every Monday to Friday.

Directed by Jawahar and screenplay by Devi Bala, the show portrays the essence of a woman discovering her self-worth as she goes through trials and tribulations in her life, said the channel in a statement.

"I am delighted to helm Meera, especially with a phenomenal actor like Khushbu in the lead,” said director Jawahar. “The rest of the cast is also supremely talented. Further, executing the story written by Khushbu is a joy altogether. With Meera, we are attempting to showcase a powerful facet of a woman who is bold, courageous and chooses her self-respect over everything else. The idea is to create a positive influence on audiences and to encourage women to value themselves and prioritise their dreams and aspirations. I am grateful to Colors Tamil for providing me such a wonderful opportunity again after the success of ‘Thirumanam.'”

The show features actors Khushbu and Suresh Chandra Menon in the lead roles, alongside Pooja Lokesh, Shalini, Shanthi Williams, Sai Krishna and Pasi Sathya in supporting roles. 

“We have always strived to create unique narratives that resonate with our audiences and present a fresh and positive perspective towards managing the issues that confront us,” said Colors Tamil business head Rajaraman S. “Our new offering is in line with our endeavours to showcase women characters that embody empowerment and emancipation. Meera will redefine feminism in terms of equity, self-worth, and self-reliance.”
