After witnessing rousing response for his debut television series The Kapil Sharma Show, which has been garnering excellent number on TRP chart ever since hitting the small screen, Salman Khan is now set to commence work on his second television venture.
The superstar has decided to adapt the inspirational life story of wrestler Gama Pehalwan into a series for the television audience. Khan is producing the series under his banner, Salman Khan Films.
According to reports, the show will go on the floors in April. Salman Khan’s younger brother Sohail Khan has been cast to play Gama Pehalwan in the series, while one of the highest-paid television actors Mohammed Nazim has come onboard to play his onscreen brother.
The untitled series is written and directed by Puneet Issar. Puneet has earlier worked with Salman Khan on the 2004 film Garv: Pride and Honour as a director.
If all goes well, the show will hit the airwaves in July.
