MUMBAI: Sanjay Khan's Numero Uno International
Limited (NUIL), is launching two mega serials under its banner during
the next week on DD National.
Maharathi Karna, a portrayal of the Mahabharata from the viewpoint
of Karna, throws light on the life of this unsung hero adding a new
perspective to this epic tale. The other serial, 1857 - Kranti, tells
the story of India’s first war of independence. Both serials, directed
by Khan himself, will be telecast on Doordarshan National. Maharathi
Karna will be telecast every Wednesday and Thursday starting January
1, 2003 between 9 and 9.30 pm and 1857 - Kranti is to be telecast
from December 29, 2002 onwards every Sunday between 11 and noon. |

Khan, whose last offering Mahabharat on
Zee TV last October was touted as the most expensive serial till date,
has plans to go regional in the near future. According to an official
release, the production house is toying with the idea of more acquisitions
in languages other than Hindi and in-house productions for private
channels. NUIL has also started operations in London to focus on international
business opportunities where it plans to co produce with acclaimed
production houses such as Hallmark Entertainment and Yorkshire Television,
UK.
Formed in 1991-92, Numero Uno is responsible for historical and mythological
programmes like The Sword of Tipu Sultan, The Great Maratha and Jai
Hanuman. Since 1999, the company has started n-house marketing activities
and acquisition and marketing of programmes other than its own, on
