Karan Singh Grover in two minds about signing Kasautii Zindagii Kay

There is bad news for fans who got really excited when they came to know that handsome hunk Karan Singh Grover was set to enter Ekta Kapoor’s popular show Kasautii Zindagii Kay to play the iconic character of Mr Bajaj.

If sources are to be believed, Karan Singh Grover is yet to sign the project on the dotted line. The actor is, reportedly, still unsure about making a comeback to television and that too with a show which does not feature him in the lead role.


Fans who devotedly follow television would know that Karan Singh Grover bid adieu to the medium in 2014 and made a crossover to films. In 2015, the actor debuted on the silver screen with horror flick Alone, which also starred his now wife, Bipasha Basu.

Alone was an average success at the box-office. Grover followed it up with T-Series’ Hate Story 3, which hit screens in 2017. Since then, the actor has not been seen in any project. He is still awaiting the release of his three films though.

Grover has also ventured into digital space and is awaiting the release of his two upcoming web-shows. “Karan is still in two minds and is contemplating whether to come back home to the tube or wait for his ALTBalaji web series, Boss, where he is the main lead. His other ALTBalaji web series, Judaai, is also stuck,” a source reveals to an entertainment portal.

Another source goes on to add, “Karan is not against doing TV per se, but would prefer a new show, centring around him.”

Laura Dern reunites with Mike White as 'The White Lotus' recasts after Helena Bonham Carter’s exit

Highlights

  • Laura Dern has joined season four of The White Lotus
  • She replaces Helena Bonham Carter after her exit over creative differences
  • The new season is being filmed in southern France during the Cannes Film Festival
  • Dern previously collaborated with creator Mike White on Enlightened

Laura Dern steps into one of television’s biggest dramas

Just days after Helena Bonham Carter made an abrupt exit from The White Lotus, HBO has moved quickly by bringing in a familiar face for creator Mike White. Laura Dern has officially joined the fourth season of the Emmy-winning series, which is already filming in southern France. While Bonham Carter’s departure sparked curiosity about what happened behind the scenes, Dern’s arrival shifts the focus back to the show itself and adds another major name to one of television’s most closely watched franchises.

Why Laura Dern feels like more than a replacement

Dern’s casting stands out because this is not her first collaboration with White. The pair first worked together on Year of the Dog before reuniting for HBO’s Enlightened, which they co-created and which earned Dern a Golden Globe. That history makes her casting feel less like a quick fix following Bonham Carter’s departure and more like White turning to a long-time creative partner he trusts. Dern also brings considerable star power, having won an Academy Award for Marriage Story and starred in projects such as Jurassic Park, Wild and Big Little Lies.
