Stories of good overpowering evil have fascinated mankind down the ages. One such is the legend of Hatim aka Hatim Tai, the Arab prince famed for his strength and generosity who lived during the Middle Ages and whose heroic pursuits find mention even in the Arabian Nights.

Hatim, who first appeared on television in 2003 in a one-hour series by the same name on Star Plus, is now all set for a comeback which promises to take viewers into the realm of the extraordinary.


The show is a never seen before gripping tale of courage and adventure, says Ajit Thakur

Starting 28 December, ‘The Adventures of Hatim’ will air every weekend at 8:00 pm on Star Plus’ sister channel Life OK.

The magnum opus, produced by Nikhil Sinha’s Triangle Film Company, hopes to transport the audience into the surreal world of Hatim, bringing them as close as possible to fantasy.

Asked whether Hatim’s second outing on TV would be any different from the first that ran for a year (2003-04) on Star Plus, Sinha says: “While fantasy is an accepted genre, the kind of fantasy we’ve seen in other narrated shows is very typical and simple. ‘The Adventures of Hatim’ is on the lines of western fantasy which has become very character-oriented, very human.”

“The storyline will be different in order to bring alive the fantasy genre. People will watch it for the story, the human equations in it. I believe if you have the right story in this genre, people will surely like it.”

Sinha informs that the series presents a larger-than-life overview of Hatim’s adventures; using high-end computer graphics, well-researched costumes, and the services of special fight masters flown in from Thailand among others.



More than 16 to 18 hours of time have gone into pre and post-production and the promos too boast some fantastic graphics. Activities such as forming story lines and creating the extensive sets started nearly six months ago.

Shooting started mid-September and nearly 10 episodes have already been canned using sets at Ramdev Film City, Naigaon.

While Rahil Azam played Hatim in Star Plus’ series, Life OK’s ‘The Adventures of Hatim’ has debutant Rajbir Singh essaying the protagonist with popular TV actors Nausheen Ali Sardar, Dolly Sohi, Khalid Siddiqui and Pracheen Chauhan forming the rest of the cast.
