MUMBAI: Sony Entertainment Television has acquired the re-telecast rights of Dheeraj Kumar’s television software company Creative Eye’s three mythological shows, Om Namah Shivay, Shree Ganesh and Jap Tap Vratt for a period of three years.

“These programmes have been acquired for Rs 75 million (Rs 7.5 crore). All three serials have established high ratings in their original run, proving their credentials in terms of popularity.
