Aamir Khan's show Satyamev Jayate to have a second season

23 October 2013

The second season of Aamir Khan’s TV show Satyamev Jayate is finally underway. The chat-show based on social issues was launched last year and its second season was to be telecast mid-this-year. However, Aamir got busy with the shoot of Dhoom 3, that got delayed and consequently Satyamev Jayate also got pushed. Now, sources say that the research for the next instalment has started and the show is likely to be aired in January next year. 

“Aamir will be promoting Dhoom 3, which is releasing in December and working on his show simultaneously,” adds a source. Satyamev Jayate was aired on Sunday morning and simultaneously cast on Star Plus and Doordarshan. The show stirred up a hornet’s nest by touching upon sensitive subjects like child-abuse, female infanticide and domestic abuse.

Thanks to the show, Aamir was featured on the cover of Time magazine for using his influence to raise social awareness.

Star Plus - Marketing and content strategy Head, Nikhil Madhok said, “Comedy was on our mind since a long time. But we didn’t want to come up with anything just for the sake of it. We waited to come up with something that we believe in." Madhok who also wanted to make Sundays entertaining for the viewers, added, “The show was conceptualised after we decided to extend our weekend programming till Saturday. While our fiction shows are more women-oriented, we wanted to make Sundays family oriented.

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”
