Five things to know about Star Plus’ new show ‘Sairaab’

Star Plus is preparing to launch ‘Sairaab’, a romantic musical drama that has already begun attracting attention for its casting, concept and creative team. As anticipation builds, here are five key things to know about the upcoming series.

Rohit Chandel and Madirakshi Mundle lead the cast
Rohit Chandel and Madirakshi Mundle have been officially confirmed as the leads of ‘Sairaab’. Chandel has previously appeared in shows such as ‘Veer Shivaji’ and ‘Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si’, while Mundle is known for her acclaimed performances in ‘Siya Ke Ram’ and ‘Jag Janani Maa Vaishno Devi’. Their pairing marks a fresh on‑screen combination for Star Plus.

An official remake of ‘Manasella Neene’
The series is the Hindi adaptation of Star Suvarna’s successful Kannada drama ‘Manasella Neene’. The original was praised for its emotional storytelling and its exploration of an unconventional relationship, making it a strong candidate for a national‑language remake.

Produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures
‘Sairaab’ is produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures, a banner known for delivering popular and long‑running television dramas. Their previous work includes shows such as ‘Jhanak’ and ‘Ishani’ among others.

A storyline echoing a real‑life celebrity romance
The premise of ‘Sairaab’ has drawn comparisons to the early public narrative of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. The promo highlights a globally recognised, younger pop sensation falling for a mature, confident woman — a dynamic that mirrors the couple’s widely discussed love story. While not an official adaptation, the thematic resemblance has sparked considerable interest.

A musical drama with original compositions
One of the show’s standout elements is its musical identity. ‘Sairaab’ incorporates performance sequences and reportedly features original songs recorded specifically for the series. This positions it as a rare music‑driven drama in the current Hindi television landscape, offering viewers a blend of narrative and melody.
