Manu Patel: Chhatrasal will inspire many more shows on unsung Indian heroes

Hailing from Himmat Nagar in Gujarat, Manu Patel’s vision has always been ahead of his time. A spiritual & motivational speaker, a social activist has now established himself in different regions of the world. He recently produced MX Player’s Chhatrasal which highlights the epic battle between Maharaja Chhatrasal of Bundelkhand and Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The show has become a huge hit and has garnered a lot of favourable response from the audience. It also got an award for the Iconic Web Series Of The Year at the recently concluded mid-day International Showbiz Icons.

Talking about the recognition, Patel says, "It was an interesting experience. We had a wonderful time in Dubai, thanks to the entire team at mid-day. I got the opportunity to present our show and also my learning from Shri Prannathji who was also a source of inspiration for Chhatrasal in real life too."

Patel adds that the show is his way to educate society about our country’s unsung heroes: “It gives me unexplainable pleasure to do something for the society. Without rich literature and content, no society can flourish, socially and spiritually."

His flagship foundation is ‘Shri Prannath Global Consciousness Mission’ which is associated with many charitable institutions that keep helping people from all religions, caste and creeds. It also empowers them to do better in their own lives.

With his unparalleled love for the history of India, Patel previously produced a popular television show “Shri Prannath Ji '' which became an instant hit among the audience and it is still being rejoiced by millions of people world-wide on Youtube. He is now planning to come up with another series on Shri Prannathji which is a prequel to Chhatrasal, "Chhatrasal will inspire many more shows on unsung Indian heroes. We are already working on another show on Shri Prannathji. We have our first draft almost ready. So it is still in the writing stage and we are working on it. This is going to be a crisp version as we are targeting the youth through this show. My idea is to give them good guidance and a path and an inspiration through the show by showcasing the learning of Shri Prannath Ji."

Apart from the show, Patel says there are some other interesting projects lined up which are specifically for the kids, "Apart from youth, we also want to tell our stories in a fun but learning way to the young audience. We are working on the animated version of Chhatrasal and Shri Prannathji. We are going to tell stories which have a good social message. It is all work in progress but we are confident on bringing all of this out soon."
