Jeetendra, who ruled Bollywood in the 70s and the 80s, is set to begin the second inning of his acting career. The yesteryear superstar, who has several successful films to his credit, is making his digital debut. He will be seen in an important cameo in the second season of the ALTBalaji series Baarish, produced by his daughter Ekta Kapoor.
“It is great to be back on screen for a show like Baarish, which finally convinced me to make my digital debut in its upcoming season. The cast and crew have been extremely warm on set and it is lovely to see their affection towards me,” said Jeetendra.
The superstar went on to add, “I am delighted to be playing the role of Jeetuji as his principles are very relatable. My fans and viewers will see the various shades of my character, who tries to reunite Anuj and Gauravi, and I am hoping they will like my short stint in this show.”
The first season of Baarish turned out to be an instant success for ALTBalaji. The audience liked the simple storytelling powered by impeccable performances from Asha Negi and Sharman Joshi.
Buoyed up by the huge success of the first season, the makers went ahead with a season 2, which brings back the much-loved jodi of Asha Negi and Sharman Joshi in lead roles. In the first season, the couple had parted ways due to their respective siblings. Vikram Singh Chauhan plays Asha Negi’s brother while Priya Banerjee essays the character of Sharman Joshi’s sister.
Baarish 2 is scheduled to start streaming from 6th May on ALTBalaji and ZEE5.
