Titled "Mann Ki Awaaz-Pratigya", the show was given a head start here Thursday by Kangana, who pledged to do away with mediocrity and stand for her respect and dignity.

"With 'Pratigya', we aim to bring alive an icon whose journey is one that women can relate to, identify with and be inspired by. Breaking stereotypes, we have created a protagonist who is not a victim but a reformer," Sanjay Gupta, COO, Star India, said in a statement here Thursday.

Co-produced by Walkwater Media Limited and Spell Bound Production, "Pratigya" stars Pooja Gaur in the lead.

To be telecast from Dec 7, the show will be aired five days a week on Star Plus.
