Renowned television actor Karan Kundrra, who was last seen on television in Dil Hi Toh Hai 3 (2020), has joined the cast of Star Plus’ long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai.


Produced by Rajan Shahi under the banner of Director’s Kut Productions, YRKKH is one of the top-rated shows on Indian television. It stars Mohsin Khan and Shivangi Joshi in central characters.

Kundrra, who has just come onboard, will play the character of Ranveer on the show. Talking about his character, the actor told a publication, “Ranveer is a very flamboyant sort of character. He is a very nice character. He is a Rajasthani and has a past. He has baggage, and I think everyone is going to love what Ranveer is. He is not here to create any problems; he is very good at heart. I would not call it a cameo but I do not think it is going to be a very big stretch.”

He went on to add that he has already shot with the lead cast of the show and enjoyed the experience. “I have shot with Shivangi, Mohsin, and everyone else, beautiful people. I was a little nervous because I am going on a new set. It is not Balaji (Telefilms). I only know Priyamvada. Everyone is very warm and welcoming, even the crew members and everyone else on the sets. You know, it is a family-like feeling,” Kundrra concluded.

The latest track of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai promises to be filled with lots of twists and turns, and Karan Kundrra’s entry as Ranveer is just going to pique audiences’ interest in the current storyline.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
