    Discovery Communications India has revamped DTamil into an entertainment channel which will have programming curated for family audiences in Tamil Nadu. DTamil has roped in Tamil actor Karunakaran, in his maiden appearance on TV, as the host of ‘Asaalta Alaravidum Pullingo’ premiering on November.

     

    Said Sai Abishek, Director–Content, Factual & Lifestyle Entertainment – South Asia, Discovery Communications India: “We are excited with how the new proposition of DTamil is shaping up. It is an interesting strategy – one which leverages our strengths and offers us a long-term scale-up of DTamil.”

     

    On the show with Karunakaran, Abishek added:  “This is the first time that such a show has been created for discerning Tamil audiences. Fail Army is the world-wide leader in funny fail videos and Karunakaran tops and tails these videos in his own inimitable humorous way, making the entire show more endearing. We are very confident that tamil audience will lap-up this new series.”
