Well, as the show gears up for the release in a few days' time, TellyChakkar had an exclusive chance to get in touch with Siddharth, who spoke about his vision and much more. 

When asked about his simple and subtle lifestyle, he said, "For me, the most important thing in life is to be who you are. This is me. I feel even someone else might be just like me when they reach the same level as me. I have always been like this. I am so lucky that I am a producer and open to producing what I believe in."

Talking about how he became a producer, Siddharth said, "I never wanted to be a producer. It happened by accident. I wanted to tell stories and make shows. I was working with Sony Entertainment Television and advertising. I had no such dreams of opening a production house but I had dreams of directing shows. Somehow, all of it has fallen very well together."

Siddharth has produced some of the great mythological shows so far. When asked if he fears that today's generation might not like this show, he said, "When I think about Mahabharat, I feel our generation is progressing. They have so many options for their visual experiences. So, who is telling them stories about our cultures and roots? The way of life is changing. These stories need to be told in today's times in a way that they are relevant to the audiences today. That's why they work. I always think about how to adapt those stories in today's times."

Well said, Siddharth!

Siddharth is known for producing shows like Radha Krishn, Porus, Mahabharat, Raziya Sultan, Karmaphal Daata Shani, Mahakali Anth Hi Aarambh and Suryaputra Karn among others. 

Meanwhile, Shiv Shakti - Tap Tyaag Tandav also stars Tarun Khanna, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Nimai Bali, Sheetal Tiwari, Meer Ali and many more in pivotal roles. 

The television series will premiere on 19th June on Colors TV.
