Story Overview
At its essence, Aai Tulja Bhavani is a devotional mytho-drama that portrays the goddess as a protector, a dispenser of justice, and a guiding mother to her devotees.
The narrative revolves around Tulja Bhavani descending to earth when her devotees are oppressed by evil forces, restoring righteousness, and intervening in human affairs to help those in distress.
In promotional materials, the Goddess is shown reacting to the earnest cry of her devotees and appearing in divine forms to address their plight. The teaser visuals emphasize her fierce, awe-inspiring avatar — often depicted with multiple arms, radiating power and serenity, intervening at the precise moment of crisis.
The show promises that in addition to grand visuals and divine interventions, the series will explore human dilemmas, moral choices, hidden conspiracies, and the interplay between faith and adversity.
A news report mentions that during shooting, Pooja Kale — playing the lead — got injured (dislocated her arm) but continued to complete her scenes before taking rest days.
