Mili’s is a story where we get to witness the struggle and the fight for survival that’s beyond anyone’s imagination!

Will this be enough to get her through the night? To know more, join Janhvi Kapoor in a battle for life along with Sunny Kaushal with the World Television Premiere of Boney Kapoor produced Mili on Saturday 24 June at 9pm.
Janhvi Kapoor, in and as Mili, said, “Mili is about the will and courage one finds to survive in really harsh conditions. It’s also a story of the people you love, how far you’d go for them and how sometimes it’s that love that gives you the will to survive. I remember my dad getting very emotional when bringing the film to me, he kept saying how it showcases a father-daughter relationship and how it reminded him of me. It was a unique and fulfilling experience to witness his passion and expertise first-hand. I am naturally attracted to roles that give me the scope to perform. One of the things that I needed to do as an artist is to open up completely and this character allowed me to do that. I believe so much in the idea of giving my audience the experience that moves them. Overall, being a part of this film has been an unforgettable journey, pushing me to explore new territories and challenge myself as an actor and I hope that 'Mili' will resonate with the audiences of Zee Cinema just as it did with me.”
Talking about the film, Boney Kapoor said, “This is the first time I’ve collaborated with Janhvi, she is an extremely hardworking person, professionally. The intensity yet calmness with which she represents herself is just like her mother. It was truly a proud moment seeing her on that set. The film talks about the virtue of a father-daughter relationship and I could not imagine anyone other than Janhvi to play the role”
Next up is Bimbisara, a film that narrates an epic and grand time traveling tale of the all-powerful and warrior king that gets trapped in time and changes his life in a blink of an eye. Filled with action and entertainment, the film tells the story of 5th century king Bimbisara mystically stuck in the present-day world filled with problems that are beyond his imagination. However, when a king from the olden days mistakenly travels through the magic mirror to the year 2023, chaos, action and fun is guaranteed for sure! To know what happens next, tune in to Zee Cinema for the World Television Premiere of Bimbisara on Sunday 25 June at 8pm.
