1 of 5
Mahabharat (2013): Made on a budget of Rs 100 crore, with an additional marketing budget of Rs 20 crore, the show starred Saurabh Raj Jain as Shri Krishna, Shaheer Sheikh as Arjuna, Pooja Sharma as Draupadi, Aham Sharma as Karna, Arav Chowdhary as Bhishma, Arpit Ranka as Duryodhana. We are not surprised that one of the writers of Mahabharat, Siddharth Kumar Tewary has produced Sony TV's upcoming show Porus. It's reception was equally great with the first episode opening to the viewership of 8.4 million people. It was dubbed in various languages and travelled to countries like Indonesia and Thailand.

24 Season 2: One of the most expensive TV shows, the per-episode cost of the show was around Rs 1.25 crore. Though the show bombed, it won hearts with its quality content, stellar cast and VFX. The show written by Rensil D'Silva and directed by Abhinay Deo starred Anil Kapoor, Sakshi Tanwar, Neil Bhoopalam, Angad Bedi, and Sikander Kher among others.
