Mumbai: &TV has announced the launch of a new mythological fiction show, ‘Bal Shiv'. The show is currently under production and being bankrolled by production banner, Zee Studios.

For the first time on Indian television, 'Bal Shiv' will depict an untold mythical story of the mother and son’s eternal bond (Mahasati Anusuya and Bal Shiv) through exploring various chapters of his childhood and self-discovery. The story revolves around the premise that Lord Shiva had taken several avatars, yet never experienced childhood and mother’s love, said the channel in a statement.

“Mythological stories always have had a fascination and staunch following amongst viewers of all ages. They have always presented viewers with the hope of direction and protection in uncertain times," the channel said. "Of all the fascinating stories on the legend of Lord Shiva and his various avatars, one story that has never been told before is the story of Bal Shiv and his Bal Roop," it added.

The upcoming presentation will soon premiere only on &TV.
