Talented actor Dinesh Mehta, who impressed audience with his acting chops in shows like Diya Aur Baati Hum, Suryaputra Karn, Gangaa and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, has bagged a meaty role.

IWMBuzz has exclusively learnt that the actor will be joining the cast of Sony TV’s Chandragupta Maurya (Swastik Productions).

The historical show took the place of Porus. After the death of Porus, Chanakya will take the oath of finding a ruler who would unite the whole of Bharat making it ‘Akhand Bharat’.

As per a credible source, “Dinesh will play the role of Pandup, who is Dhananand’s (Saurabh Raaj Jain) elder brother in the show.”
