Commenting on the launch, Actor Devayani said, “ I am elated that Kolangal will soon

be retelecast on a popular channel like Colors Tamil. This show is close to my heart since

it marked my television debut. Kolangal had set a benchmark to inspire many women to get out

of the comfort of their homes and take the reins of the workplace industry, while balancing both

their personal and professional responsibilities. With the show coming back to screen, I am

certain it will continue to motivate many more women to be brave and take charge of

accomplishing their dreams.”

Adding to the same, Actor Deepak Dinkar said, “Thendral marked my acting debut and it is

owing to this show that I have reached great heights in the Tamil GEC space. I am happy that

it is being re-telecast on Colors Tamil. The show in my opinion was the first youthful drama to

have aired among the Tamil audience and showcased the importance of education in

women, which still many parts of the country need more awareness about. Hence, I am

confident that this show will continue to rule the hearts of the audiences whilst encouraging

viewers to be empowered.”
