November 7, 2024 – Building on the excitement since the date announcement, JioCinema Premium today unveiled the trailer for The Magic of Shiri, a heartwarming slice-of-life drama that beautifully portrays the journey of a woman pursuing her dreams in the enchanting world of magic.

Presented by Jio Studios, produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Tanveer Bookwala (Ding Infinity), Shiri is adamant to realize her dream of emerging as the world’s best magician and create a legacy in an industry dominated by stereotypes and gender biases.

The trailer also introduces Jaaved Jaaferi as a powerful magician, and features Namit Das in a pivotal role.
Commenting on the series, actor Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya said, “Shiri is a story of every woman, finding her way in a world that doesn’t always make space for her. Playing her has been a rewarding experience because it reminded me of the everyday battles, we all face to keep moving forward, no matter the odds. Her journey is so relatable — it’s about holding onto a dream and pushing through, even when it feels impossible. She is every woman who has ever dared to dream beyond society’s boundaries, refusing to be held back by the challenges life throws at her.”
Further adding, Jaaved Jaaferi said, “This is a tale for anyone who has at some point in their life been told that their dreams are too big or that their goals are out of reach. Shiri’s inspiring journey beautifully captures the magic of resilience, passion and determination. My character adds a certain intensity and depth to the story and plays a pivotal role as friend, philosopher and guide in Shiri’s journey through the world of magic.”
With its enchanting storyline and relatable characters, Shiri taps into the universal themes of passion and resilience, resonating with anyone who has ever faced obstacles on the path to their dreams.
