Zee TV has started work on Aghori, the horror series that will make for interesting and differenciated content on the channel.

Produced by Essel Vision, Aghori will have a story inter-wound with supernatural elements.

The hunt to play the central and titular role of Aghori was on for quite some time. But now, it looks as though the channel and makers have got the apt face to play the lead.

Parag Tyagi who last donned the avatar of the Brahmarakshas in Balaji Telefilms’ weekend thriller, has been locked to play Aghori this time around.

Yes, you heard it right!!

As per a reliable source, “Aghori will be a powerful and ruthless persona to begin with and will make for a gigantic anti-hero.”

Earlier, there was a report about Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala’s Vishal Aditya Singh playing the role of the Aghori. However, he was only approached, but did not get finalized.

We buzzed Parag but did not get through to him.

We reached to the spokesperson at Zee TV, but did not get revert.
