Popular television actress Tina Dutta, who rose to fame after playing the female lead in Colors’ well-received show Uttaran (2008-2015), has been away from the arc-light for quite a long time now. If you missed the actress all these years, here is an exciting piece of news for all of you.

According to reports, Dutta has been signed on to play the lead character in &TV’s forthcoming supernatural series Daayan. To be bankrolled by Ekta Kapoor under Balaji Telefilms, the show is set to mount the shooting floor soon.

Interestingly, Tina Dutta was not the original choice for the lead character in Daayan. Before she came onboard, the makers had approached Adaa Khan for the role. However, the Naagin actress opted for Rashmi Sharma’s upcoming show Sitara over Daayan.

Sitara, to be aired on Colors, is also a supernatural series. The show is expected to hit the airwaves very soon.

  • The actor had just lost a libel case against The Sun, which referred to him as a “wife-beater.”
  • Depp was replaced by Mads Mikkelsen in The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022).

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has opened up about being removed from the Fantastic Beasts franchise, saying he felt the studio’s request for his resignation was effectively a push into retirement. Depp made the comments in a recent interview while promoting his new directorial project Modì: Three Days on the Wing of Madness.

In 2020, shortly after losing a high-profile libel case against The Sun over claims of domestic abuse during his marriage to Amber Heard, Depp was asked to step down from the Harry Potter spin-off series. Speaking about the moment, Depp said, “It literally stopped in a millisecond, like, while I was doing the movie. They said, ‘We’d like you to resign.’ But what was really in my head was, they wanted me to retire.”
