Pavitra Rishta is that one show which will always be memorable for all fans of late Sushant Singh Rajput as it was that show which paved the foundation for Sushant’s amazing career in the movies. Sushant is one of those very few actors who had made a successful transition from TV to movies and his fans will certainly take pride of the fact.
Last Sunday, we got a confirmed update about Pavitra Rishta 2.0 which is all set to star Shaheer Shaikh and Ankita Lokhande in the leading roles. While the show is being treated as an ode to Sushant Singh Rajput, the casting director of Pavitra Rishta 2.0 feels that Shaheer’s casting was extremely difficult. Casting director Adityoa Suranna was quoted by Zoom Digital saying,
“Pavitra Rishta 2.0 is completely digital. To be honest, it is a challenge for everybody. The task is not only for me but also for the actors who have been locked. If we have seen something already, we have already set a benchmark. If this was a new show, whatever we would do, would be fresh for people. But already, hum sabke paas ek benchmark hai (all of us have a benchmark).”
He further added,
“It is not only for me but for the actors, directors and for everyone. There are two people (from the old cast), Ankita Lokhande is playing Archana’s part, Usha ma’am is playing her part. We have already seen them and have loved them. But for the rest of the actors, they have a challenge. Especially for Manav, for Shaheer Sheikh it is a big challenge to live up to that space. But at the same time, it is a challenge for directors, me and other actors as well.”
Well here’s hoping Shaheer can put his best foot forward to play the character of Manav played earlier by Sushant Singh Rajput. For more updates, stay tuned to IWMBuzz.com
