Mohit Malik bags a new Star Plus show

One of the most popular actors on Indian television, Mohit Malik has bagged a new show. The actor, who was last seen in a grey character in Doli Armaanon Ki on Zee TV, will play the male lead in one of Star Plus’ upcoming shows.

Mohit Malik is known to pick up distinct roles in his career, roles which are not similar to what he has done before. Keeping his track record intact, the actor will now play a singer in his new series.


“Mohit Malik will play the lead in the series. He will essay the role of the renowned playback singer with name and fame, Sikandar Singh Gill,” informs a source.

Reportedly, the show will be called Kulfi Kumar Baajewala. It will be the Hindi adaptation of the hit Star Jalsa show, Potol Kumar Gaanwala which revolved around a young singer who sets out to search for her musician father.

The new show will be jointly produced by 4 Lions Films and Invictus T Mediaworks.
