Sharad Malhotra approached to play lead in Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki post leap?

Originally starring Rubina Dilaik and Vivian Dsena as the lead pair, Rashmi Sharma Telefilms’ Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki has been one of the top-rated shows on Colors. The show began its journey in 2016 and pulled on the heartstrings of the audience right from the very beginning. Powered by an original storyline and consistently outstanding performances from the entire cast, it has always managed to find a place in top most-watched shows on Indian television.

However, Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki had a major setback when lead actor Vivian Dsena decided to walk out of the show just before the leap. And now, the makers are set to introduce yet another big leap wherein female lead Rubina Dilaik will also exit the show.

As we all know that the makers have signed on Jigyasa Singh and Simba Nagpal to play the new lead pair on the show. However, they were still not too sure about the new casting and had contacted actor Sharad Malhotra to play the male lead on the show.

“Makers were keen to cast Sharad Malhotra as the main lead for Shakti post leap. They, in fact, even reached out to Vivian for a fresh character in the show but obviously, Dsena turned it down. Sharad too was mulling over it but decided against it because he has just got a break and wants to give some time to himself. He also wants to headline a fresh project,” a source in the know reveals.

Sharad, who was last seen in Muskaan on Star Bharat, has been working non-stop for some time now. It will be really interesting to know if he agrees to do yet another daily soap. More details are awaited.

Filmmaker steps away from YRF’s action franchise

Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has stepped away from Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) highly anticipated action project Dhoom 4, reportedly due to creative differences. According to Bollywood Hungama, Mukerji’s vision for the film did not align with the studio’s direction, prompting him to withdraw from the project.

Mukerji, who was in discussions to direct the next instalment of the hit franchise—expected to star Ranbir Kapoor—was said to have limited control over the script, which was reportedly written by Shridhar Raghavan. The director, best known for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra, was keen on shaping the film creatively rather than simply executing an existing plan.
