Kingkini cast opposite Harsh Rajput in Star Plus’ Nazar

Nazar, one of the most popular shows on Star Plus, never leaves any chance to surprise the audience. The show keeps introducing several twists and turns to keep the viewers hooked to their television screens.

Produced by Gul Khan’s 4 Lions Films, Nazar is now gearing up to drop a series of twists in the coming episodes. We hear that actor Harsh Rajput, who plays protagonist Ansh on the popular show, will soon be seen in a double role.


The makers are going to introduce the look-alike of Ansh as his twin brother. He will be the son of Mohana (Monalisa). The look-alike will have a wife too. Now the question arises who is going to play his wife on the show?

According to reports, model-turned-actress Kingkini Bhattacharya has been roped in to play the said part in Nazar. This will not be the first supernatural series for Kingkini as she has also done Ekta Kapoor’s Qayamat Ki Raat.

“Kingkini will play the wife of the look-alike of Ansh who will enter. The couple will have a small kid is what we have learned,” a source close to the development reveals to a popular entertainment portal.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
