Ujjain, the spiritual heart of India, became the shooting hub for &TV’s fresh series ‘Hey Bhagwan: How Much Has Man Changed!’ on February 26. This choice amplified the show’s theme of divine guidance in contemporary dilemmas, drawing from the city’s revered Mahakaleshwar temple and vibrant ghats.
Centered on upright lawyer Mahesh Sharma’s quest for truth amid moral decay, the storyline weaves mythology into real-life struggles. The production team’s decision to film on location—amid flowing rivers, ancient temples, and devout crowds—added layers of realism impossible to replicate in studios.
Tarun Khanna, embodying Mahadev, described the shoot as transformative: ‘Ujjain’s potent spiritual vibe enhanced my portrayal. The authenticity from filming here, plus celebrating my birthday in this holy city, made it unforgettable. Post-shoots, temple visits brought unparalleled peace.’
Co-star Jay Shankar Tripathi, as Mahesh, highlighted personal growth: ‘The devotion here mirrored my character’s values. Chatting with simple locals and tasting authentic street food like poha-jalebi grounded me, enriching both the role and my soul.’
Blending humor, family drama, and profound spiritual insights, the show critiques societal changes while celebrating eternal principles. As it gears up for &TV premiere, expect it to captivate viewers with its grounded yet ethereal storytelling, thanks to Ujjain’s enchanting influence.
