Secret sauce of Star Plus’ success

Gaurav Benerjee, Star Plus General Manager said, “Our storytelling reflects a certain kind of brand.

Life OK to launch action series ‘Pukaar- Call for Hero’

Ajit Thakur, EVP and General Manager, Life OK said, “The USP of Pukaar, other than its main gripping story line which revolves around the life of a commando, also has a linear track which is equally important. It is about a father-son estranged relationship, where the son longs to get back his father’s lost love. Unlike the other GECs, who target women, Life OK programming is always male centric. However, saying this, Pukaar’s TG is family, with men being the primary target.”
