Zee Tamil, a Tamil GEC from the ZEEL family, has announced the launch of two new family drama shows.

The channel is set to bring two fresh stories of female protagonists who are breaking stereotypes and will inspire viewers to revisit their relationship with their daughters-in-law.

The first fiction show titled ‘Peranbu’ is a heart-warming and light-hearted family drama show, and revolves around the relationship between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law played by veteran actor Shamitha Sreekumar and Vaishnavi Arulmozhi, respectively.

The show follows the life of a benevolent god-fearing woman Vanathi who finds herself in an arranged marriage set up with Karthik, portrayed by Vijay Venkatesan, a well-reputed architect. Her mother-in-law Raja Rajeshwari, however, realizes their discomfort due to their contrasting personalities.

‘Peranbu’ will air from Monday-Saturday, starting December 13 at 2 pm.

The second fiction show, titled ‘Dheivam Thandha Poovae’, is the story of an indestructible woman Mithra, who faces the world with courage despite the hardships of her life.

The show includes Nimisha Chengappa who will portray Mithra, a bold and loving woman from a middle-class family that aspires to make life better for her family, and Amrudh Kalam as Vinay who plays the role of a wealthy honourable man alongside the industry veteran Bombay Sridharan who plays Dr. Ramakrishnan.

‘Dheivam Thandha Poovae’ will start airing Monday-Saturday, on December 13 at 2.30 pm.

Speaking on the launch of the show, Siju Prabhakaran, EVP and South Cluster Head, ZEEL, said, “In an endeavour to keep up with changing times and ever-evolving relationships, Zee Tamil is launching a new and fresh take on relationships and how women can empower each other.

“We, as a channel, are always on the lookout for unique stories that will not only entertain our audience but also give them content that they can relate to and take inspiration from. Keeping this in mind, ‘Peranbu’ has been conceptualized to highlight the positive aspect of the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law whereas ‘Dheivam Thandha Poovae’ will focus on dealing with formidable challenges in life because of one’s bitter past.”
