Mumbai: The Q has partnered with MX Player to bring its critically and commercially successful original series “Aashram” to television. The first season of the show will air on 11 October at 8:30 p.m from Monday to Friday followed by the second season.

Directed by Prakash Jha, the crime thriller features Bobby Deol, Tridha Choudhury, Aditi Sudhir Pohankar and Anupriya Goenka in the lead roles.

“Great content does wonders irrespective of its platform. Having understood the pulse of our viewers, we at The Q continue to make efforts in bringing content that is strong, and unique with a compelling and relevant plot and storyline,” said The Q chief executive officer Simran Hoon. “Airing Aashram on TV is in sync with our strategy to bring the best from digital to TV.  We will continue to pioneer such initiatives to help strengthen The Q’s position in the industry while being the preferred entertainment destination for viewers across India.”

Inspired by true events, “Aashram” was launched in 2020 and revolves around the story of Baba Nirala, an actual conman who ensures that his devotees or followers devote their wealth to him and stay attached to his aashram.

“Aashram unfolds a great story and given its relevance in today’s day and age, it is sure to strike the right chord with our viewers,” said The Q programming head Tanya Shukla. “Television is a medium that brings families together and by bringing a high-end limited series on television, we aim to provide our viewers with the most engaging form of entertainment. We will continue bringing such compelling stories from the digital world for our discerning viewers.”
