Vivek Khatri, grandson of Devki Nandan Khatri, the writer of famous novel and TV show Chandrakanta and other great epics, is coming up with his own streaming platform named WOW originals. Vivek is himself a writer and has already written some series for WOW. He is also writing a novel Sher Singh (total six parts), which is in continuation of the famous novel Chandrakanta and will be published around Diwali this year.

Says Vivek, “Our aim is to showcase healthy entertainment — clean stories and no vulgar content. WOW will be launched in mid-February starting with around 20 projects, including web series, short films and music videos. We are planning to showcase original content, which the whole family can sit together and enjoy. That’s rare these days.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
