Hastinapur Ke Veer premieres June 2

Sony SAB is set to launch “Hastinapur Ke Veer” on June 2, adding a six-night-a-week mythological drama to its 9 p.m. slot. Promos published by Sony SAB and Sony LIV say the series will air Monday through Saturday at 9 p.m. and will also be available on Sony LIV. Separate entertainment reports published this week say the show centers on the early lives of the Pandavas and Kauravas. The rollout gives Sony SAB a prime-time mythological title built around characters from the Mahabharata. ### When exactly does the show start, and where will it air? June 2 is the announced start date in Sony SAB’s recent promo uploads. A Sony SAB YouTube promo published on May 14 says “Hastinapur Ke Veer” starts on “2nd June, 9 PM,” and a Sony LIV promo carries the same start date and time while naming both Sony LIV and Sony SAB as platforms. Sony LIV has also put up a dedicated show page for “Hastinapur Ke Veer,” indicating the series is being positioned for both linear television and streaming catch-up or digital viewing. (youtube.com) The listing does not add many editorial details, but it confirms the title is part of Sony’s release pipeline. ### What part of the Mahabharata story is the series telling? (youtube.com) Entertainment coverage published on May 19 and May 21 says the series goes back to the childhood and formative years of the Pandavas, with the Kauravas also part of the setup. Zoom described the show as examining the “formative years of the Pandavas and Kauravas” and the relationships and decisions that shaped Hastinapur’s future. Indiantvinfo reported that the series focuses on the early lives of the Pandavas and will run six nights a week in prime time. (sonyliv.com) Other entertainment write-ups describe the show through Kunti and her five sons, though those details come from secondary coverage rather than a full official synopsis from Sony SAB. Across the available reports, the common verified point is that the series is framed as an origin-stage retelling rather than a direct march to the Kurukshetra war. ### Which characters and cast members have surfaced so far? (zoomtventertainment.com) Vivana Singh has publicly discussed playing Gandhari in the series in interviews published this week. Zoom and an MSN-carrying entertainment item both identified her role and described the show as a large-scale mythological narrative focused on the younger years of the Pandavas and Kauravas. (showbizbuff.com) Secondary entertainment coverage has also linked Toral Rasputra to the role of Kunti, though Sony SAB’s own promo pages surfaced in this search did not provide a full cast sheet. That means some cast details are circulating, but the most directly verified names from current reporting are tied to promotional interviews rather than a complete network announcement. (zoomtventertainment.com) ### Why is the 9 p.m. Monday-to-Saturday slot notable? Sony SAB’s scheduling choice puts “Hastinapur Ke Veer” into a high-frequency prime-time pattern more commonly used for daily Hindi television fiction than for once-a-week event programming. The channel’s own promo language and Sony LIV’s promo both specify a Monday-to-Saturday run, making the six-night cadence one of the clearest facts about the launch. (showbizbuff.com) A six-night slot also signals that Sony SAB is treating the show as a regular tentpole rather than a limited special. Neither Sony SAB nor Sony LIV, in the materials surfaced here, gave an episode count or end date. ### What should viewers watch for next? June 2 is the next firm milestone, when “Hastinapur Ke Veer” is due to begin at 9 p.m. on Sony SAB. (youtube.com) Sony SAB’s promo cycle is already underway, and Sony LIV’s show page is live ahead of launch, so the next likely official updates are additional character promos, cast materials and the first full episode release around the premiere date.
