Adventure series 'Lucky' begins on Star Plus from Nov 4

Mumbai, Oct 20 (UNI) Star Plus today announced the launch of its new weekend prime time show 'Lucky,' an adventure series to woo younger viewers.

Produced by Sagar Arts Productions whose earlier shows like 'Hatim' and presently 'Prithviraj Chauhan' is well received by the audience, 'Lucky' will attract the younger viewers with a greater focus on family entertainment on weekends, a release issued here today said.

Deepak Segal, Executive Vice President, STAR India Pvt Ltd, said the channel recently launched 'Antariksh' in the weekday 2000 hrs primetime slot. Lucky will be telecast on the same slot on Saturdays for younger viewers. It is an out and out adventure story packaged with a heavy doze of fun and entertainment.

It is a story about a young man-'Lucky', who runs a fake antique shop in Chor Bazaar and has the simplest ways of living - conning people by selling them fake antiques and actually making them believe, that the artifacts are genuine. Lucky is a street smart, confident and intelligent character, who loves life the way it comes until he gets to know about the 'Rakshaks' who were born for protecting sacred and priceless treasures and that now he is going to be the chosen one...the fifth Rakshak.

Totally unprepared for such a news, Lucky refuses to go along with this silly thought, as he calls it, inspite of the efforts made by Inder Mohan Sharma, a museum curator and Acharya Joshi, a 500 year old friendly ghost, to convince him. From here on begins Lucky's first mission, which he is literally forced to go on (in a special plane captained by Captain Paswan) but a task that only Lucky can take up as he is undoubtedly the fifth Rakshak. Thus begins Lucky's new life as a 'Rakshak' that takes him and the gang on an exciting journey and nail biting adventures in every episode that are sure to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats, the release added.

The show is directed by Nisser Parvej and the cast includes Lucky played by Gautam Rhode; Inder Mohan Sharma played by Gyan Prakash Sharma, Captain Paswan played by Banwarilal Jhol and AJ - Acharya Joshi played by Anang Desai.
