"Satyamev Jayate" is Aamir Khan's
first television project and the star says that the reality show will
create history by becoming the first ever programme to go live
simultaneously on a private channel and national broadcaster DD1.
"This is for the first time in the Indian
history that a show will also be showcased simultaneously on national
television channel DD1. Besides, the show will be dubbed in four
southern languages - Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada. This show is
being launched on a large scale," Aamir told reporters Friday here at
the launch of the show's promo song.
"Satyamev Jayate" will go on air on Star Plus May 6.
"I don't understand TRPs (Television Rating Points) and GRPs (Gross
Rating Points). I have no idea how to calculate it! I don't care about
TRPs. It is important to reach out to the Indian audiences. If viewers
want to see, they will see or else it is up to them," added the
47-year-old.
Aamir feels that TV is a very powerful medium and added: "I had to make
complete use of this medium. This is a baby step towards it."
"I cannot say I understand TV completely. I was earlier scared to go
ahead with the project. I can only say I have made this show with
complete honesty and without compromising on anything."
The promo song of "Satyameva Jayate" is a love song.
"Earlier, we were planning to compose a national song or like one
anthem. Later, I realised, why am I doing this show? I have love in my
heart for my country, like each Indian who love their country. Then we
went with a romantic song. We thought, it should be a love song that
reflects the love for my country and relate with each Indian," he said.
Composed by Ram Sampath and written by Prasoon Joshi, the song is sung by Keerthi Sagathia.
The show has got the famous "Ramayana" and "Mahabharta" slot - Sunday 11 a.m.
"I wanted to telecast my show on Sunday morning. I want each family to
watch the show and connect with it. We have watched 'Ramayana' and
'Mahabarata' and it used to come on Sunday morning. The shows created a
different atmosphere. I am not scared of the saas or bahus. My thought
was 'Bharat jodo abhiyaan'."
"I am not attempting to change anybody's life. I don't have the
strength to change anyone's life. When I speak about change, it's about
changing myself. I am not interested in changing the world. Who am I to
change anyone's life? I can only connect to them emotionally and
empathise."
The actor spoke about everything, except the concept of the show and said: "I can't talk much about the show."
