Chandigarh 30^th July:- Ever met a bride who doesn't wear red sindoor, red chooda or paayal? Chances are she'd be from a village called Kamalpura where terror strikes when a bride decks up in her finery. On 6th August at 9 PM, Zee TV will launch a clutter-breaking weekend fiction show that centres on a ferocious monster who directed his wrath towards newly-wed brides. Having partnered with Zee TV and given viewers successful primetime dramas like Hum Paanch, Kasamh Se, Pavitra Rishta, Jodha Akbar and KumKum Bhagya over the years, Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms will produce this show titled 'Brahmarakshas-Jaag Utha Shaitan'.

Brahmarakshas is the story of a young girl from Mumbai named Raina who goes to Kamalpura with her best friend to attend a wedding. On reaching there, Raina and Rishabh lose the one person who was special to both of them in an encounter with the Brahmarakshas.

Akash Chawla, Zee TV & Zee Studios Business Head said that Brahmarakshas- Jaag Utha Shaitaan' is a fantasy thriller aimed at entertaining every member of the family. The existence of demons is well documented in our vedas.  So we are presenting a fictionalized account of a raakshas set against the backdrop of romance and thrills. The show has an element of intrigue and suspense without going into the space of horror. We have had a successful partnership with Ekta over the years and look forward to entertaining audiences with this novel concept.

Producer Ekta Kapoor said that after the immense success of Kumkum Bhagya that continues to sustain its leadership position across channels on weekday primetime, we are happy to collaborate with Zee TV to present another gripping story called 'Brahmarakshas- Jaag Utha Shaitaan'. It is a fantasy, an out-and-out entertainer, a thriller with elements of romance, drama and intrigue. The treatment will be very different vis-a-vis a daily soap. As of now, we have selected Krystle D'souza and Aham Sharma as the lead protagonists and the hunt for title role of Brahmarakshas is still on.

The show is a fantasy thriller bound to fascinate every member of the family. 'Brahmarakshas' has an ensemble cast of impressive actors and the leading lady of the show is none other than the young and talented Krystle D'souza who has mesmerized millions of viewers with her beauty and charm.  The glamorous actress will be seen portraying the role of Raina- a pure hearted girl who cares for everybody around. Television heartthrob Aham Sharma has been cast opposite Krystle as the male lead of the show.

Beautiful Krystle D Souza said that she is excited to be back on television after a year and that too with Balaji Telefilms. This will be her first association with Zee TV where she is playing the role of Raina who is a pure hearted girl. Viewers will surely be able to connect with my character as the storyline is so intriguing and gripping that after every shoot, we can't wait to find out what's going to happen next. She can already imagine the audiences feeling the same way.
