The channel has roped in Punyache Mahabringraj Tel and Vicco Turmeric as ‘powered by’ sponsors. Chandukaka Saraf & Sons, Anuroop Wiwah Sanstha, Todkar Sanjeevani Nisargopchar Kendra and Kesar Tours have come on board as special partners for the latest season of the show.

Colors Marathi business head Aniket Joshi said, “Music is an integral part of our Marathi culture. We at Colors Marathi are very proud to present the fifth season of the most popular singing reality show. Weekends are sorted for our audiences as they will witness the best of Marathi music. We are happy to have on board music maestros such as Mahesh Kale and Avdhoot Gupte. We are extremely excited to start this journey and hope to find a gem of a singer amongst these survivors.”

Colors Marathi programming head Viraj Raje said, “Sur Nava Dhyas Nava is one of the few talent-based shows with a legacy of singing talent that it has built in the last few seasons. It is one of the best platforms for aspiring singers. This is the first time on Marathi television that we have a singing reality show where the contestants will perform only Marathi songs. Colors Marathi is trying to convey the priceless treasure of Marathi songs to the people by presenting Marathi songs in the audio and visual programme Sur Nawa, just as Saint Tukaram's Abhang became immortal by floating on the waters of Indrayani.”
