Veteran Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal, who was last seen in the comic-caper Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi, is all set to launch his upcoming show on the leading General Entertainment Channel, Star Plus. To be produced under the banner of Playtime Creationn, which is co-owned by Hemal Thakkkar and Paresh Rawal, the new show is said to be based on the concept of how good triumphs over evil.

Though nothing much has been revealed about the cast of the forthcoming show, a close source reveals that popular television actor Kunal Verma, who started his acting career with Ekta Kapoor’s Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna in 2008, has been cast to play a pivotal role in the show.

“Kunal Verma, who was last seen in Dil Se Dil Tak on Colors, has been roped in for the show. The pilot for the show has already been shot,” says the source.

Playtime Creationn has produced some path-breaking shows in the past, including Laagi Tujhse Lagan, Mrs. Pammi Pyarelal, Teen Bahuraniyaan and Shubh Mangal Savdhaan. It will be the first time when the production house will do a show for Star Plus.
