Sony SAB is all set to bring back the legendary Tenali Rama in a highly anticipated new season this December. The show celebrates the life of the iconic Indian figure, Tenali, as he faces the biggest challenge of his life.

Once a celebrated advisor in the kingdom of Vijayanagar, Tenali finds himself fallen from grace and shunned by the people. Known for his sharp wit, humour, and distinctive charm, he must now navigate a difficult path back to the kingdom. With a sense of renewed purpose, Tenali returns not just with his intellect but also a deeper emotional resonance, showcasing a more empathetic and human side as he takes on a new mission to protect the kingdom from an impending threat.

His journey will also mirror today’s issues like justice, equality and power struggles, showcasing his relevance to modern India, albeit in a fun manner

Speaking about the show, Krishna Bharadwaj, who plays the role of Tenali, said, “Tenali is known as one of India’s finest scholars from a golden age. Viewers will see him as a wise figure and mentor, making him relatable to audiences of all ages. His journey will also mirror today’s issues like justice, equality and power struggles, showcasing his relevance to modern India, albeit in a fun manner. Audiences have kept his image alive all these years, and I’m thrilled to bring him back in a way that’s both familiar and refreshingly different.”
