SonyLIV is poised to undergo a major makeover, as revealed by the streaming platform recently. The makeover includes a new logo, new look and an enviable slate of new originals from the topmost filmmakers of the industry. The all-new SonyLIV will go live from 18th June, with three new offerings, much in the same way as Voot did at the launch of its premium streaming service Voot Select.
Prominent among these are the much-awaited Scam 1992, Avrodh and Your Honor from Applause Entertainment. Scam 1992 is based on Sucheta Dalal’s book ‘The Scam’, on the story of the great stock market scam engineered by Big Bull Harshad Mehta. It is directed by Hansal Mehta, and stars Pratik Gandhi, Sharib Hashmi, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Rajat Kapoor, among a large ensemble cast.
Of these, Your Honor will stream from 18th June, which is the day of launch.
Avrodh: The Siege Within is been directed by Raj Acharya, and is based on the 2016 surgical strikes. It stars Amit Sadh, Neeraj Kabi, Vikram Gokhale Darshan Kumar, Madhurima Tuli, among others. Your Honor is a remake of an Israeli series and is about a judge who is caught between his duty and his family when his son stands accused of a hit-and-run. Jimmy Shergill plays the judge and the series is directed by E. Niwas. Varun Badola, Parul Gulati, Richa Pallod and Suhasini Mulay are part of the cast among others.
An original produced by Salman Khan and Banijay Asia will also debut on the streaming platform, called SOT: Surgical Operation Team. It stars Pooja Gor, Mukul Dev, Rohit Choudhary, Imran Javed and others. Also in the works is Undekhi by Ashish Shukla, featuring Sayandeep Sharma, Dibyendu, Harsh Chhaya, Apurva Soni, Abhijit Lahiri, Abhishek Chauhan, among others.
Besides these, the new upgraded SonyLIV also has shows by prominent filmmakers in the works, including from Nikkhil Advani, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Monisha Advani, Nitesh Tiwari and Ashwini Iyer Tiwari, Vir Das, Subhash Kapoor, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Kapil Sharma, Rohan Sippy, Ajay Monga, Saurabh Tewari, and a host of others.
Other than a brand new slate of Indian Originals, SonyLIV also has a lineup of Western originals in the coming, including Into The Dark, Becoming A God In Central Florida, Alex Rider, For Life, Lincoln Rhyme : Hunt For The Bone Collector, The Tudors, The Good Doctor and Shark Tank.
