Colors Pishachini To Premiere From This Date Onwards!

It is said that appearance can be deceptive, for what looks like a braid of an angel, could be a rope of a devil. Colors’ latest supernatural drama ‘Pishachini’ unravels the tale of a family and their encounter with an evil demoness, Rani. An enchantress, she pretends to be a damsel in distress, but eventually entraps people and devours their souls with her enchanting beauty and dark energies. As her frightening shadow falls on the Rajputs, it is Pavithra who senses her demonic presence and chooses to help the family break free from Pishachini’s evil powers. 

Rani, the Pishachini, is a terrifying witch whose threat looms over the quaint town of Bareilly. In her evil quest, she sets her eyes on the Rajput family who she shares a long-lost connection with. She casts her evil eye on every member of the family intending to capture their souls. But there is one person, Pavithra, who is well aware of Rani’s supernatural presence as her ancestral past is connected to hers. She has a chance encounter with the youngest member of the Rajput family, Rakshit Rajput aka Rocky that leads her into their house. Pavithra senses the impending danger surrounding the Rajput house and decides to expose Rani’s truth in front of everyone.

Playing the titular role of ‘Pishachini’ a.k.a. ‘Rani’, Nyrraa M Banerji said, “We always equate beauty with something peaceful and positive, but Pishachini will burst this myth for everyone. She is an evil being with a beautiful face and long tresses that add to her charm. Rani’s character is extremely intriguing, and it gives me a great opportunity to experiment as an actor. I hope that my fans and supporters like me in this new avatar and shower me with their blessings.”

Essaying Pavithra’s role, Jiya Shankar said, “As an actor, I am always eager to try unique and challenging roles that give me a chance to experiment with my capabilities. Pishachini is one such show! I have been a huge fan of supernatural shows and have admired the actors who have aced such difficult characters so gracefully. Pavithra’s character is an observant young girl who is well-connected with our ancient beliefs and practices despite being raised abroad. This is my first supernatural thriller as well as my first collaboration with COLORS, and I am really looking forward to it.”

I am going to have a great time working on this show and hope that the viewers like it.”
