Farooq Sheikh, Jatin Shah in Dahan
Endemol India is trying to rope in some big and talented names for its upcoming show Dahan on Zee TV. After finalising Bollywood actor Yashpal Sharma, other stalwarts joining him are Farooq Sheikh and Lubna Salim. Actor Jatin Shah too will be seen in a key role.
Informs a source, “After Yashpal, the production house has brought in veterans like Farooq Sheikh and Lubna. Balaji find Jatin Shah too will be seen in the show playing a pivotal role in it. Anupama Singh who played Vikram Gokhale’s wife in Colors’ Jeevan Saathi too will be seen in the show. They have also signed Bhavna Khanna. The show will launch sometime in May and in all likelihood will be a primetime daily. Yashpal will play the central character; of a Thakur, an arbitrator in a village in UP.”
We sent a text message to Sheikh who said, “I am still reading the script. I will confirm this in a week’s time.” Salim however didn’t revert. Shah too refused to comment.
We also sent a text message to Rajesh Chaddha, director Operations, Endemol India but he didn’t revert.
Where Salim was last seen in Star Plus’ Baa Bahoo aur Baby, Farooq is best remembered for his hosting in Zee TV’s popular chat show Jeena issi ka naam hai.
Controversies:
- Dahanhas apparently been rechristened Karegi Mera Naam Roshan.
- Expected to go on air in June, the Zee TV show was supposed to be produced by Endemol, before it was passed on to JD Majethia’s Hats Off Productions following some creative differences.
- Zee show Dahan changes production hands from Endemol to Hats Off? It seems like Zee TV is on a roll hiring a production house to make a show and then firing it. Earlier it was a show to be produced by Synergy apparently shelved by the channel owing to certain creative differences with the production house. And now we hear that the channel has decided to take back the production rights of their forthcoming show Dahan from Endemol India. Buzz is that the show has now gone to Hats Off. Endemol had almost finalised the entire cast of the show and it was all set to go on the floors soon.
Star Cast:
- Endemol India is trying to rope in some big and talented names for its upcoming show Dahan on Zee TV. After finalising Bollywood actor Yashpal Sharma, other stalwarts joining him are Farooq Sheikh and Lubna Salim. Actor Jatin Shah too will be seen in a key role.
- New Zee show, Dahan to have Yashpal Sharma as negative lead.
- Endemol's upcoming fiction show tentatively titled Dahan will hit Zee TV some time mid- May. The show which is set against a rural backdrop will be a daily. Though the other actors have still to be signed in, one important name that is being considered is Yashpal Sharma better known as traitor Lakha of Lagaan. The actor is all set for his big role as an antagonist as it's a key role.
