The mythological presentation on Sony SAB, Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki – Ganesh Kartikey, produced by Peninsula Pictures, will see the replacement of Mohit Malik, who is presently playing the role of Lord Shiv. Reports earlier surfaced about Mohit Malik’s exit from the show, owing to the busy schedules of handling multiple commitments at the same time.
Mohit who is versatile as a performer, recently garnered humongous praise for his portrayal in the Sony LIV series Chamak. He has reportedly joined the cast of Mirzapur: The Film, which will be the big-screen adaptation of the successful web series.
This had given the makers and the channel an immediate need to look for an actor to get into the role of Lord Shiv. And we hear that the makers have finally found the match in popular actor Avinesh Rekhi, who was recently seen in the Sony TV show Chalo Bulawa Aaya Hai: Mata Ne Bulaya Hai.
As per a reliable source, “It looks as though Avinesh Rekhi is all set to grab the prized role of Lord Shiv now. He is into advanced talks for the role in the mythological.”
As we know, Avinesh is also a versatile actor with a plethora of roles in projects Chhoti Sarrdaarni, Ikk Kudi Punjab Di, Chhal – Sheh Aur Maat, Udaariyaan, Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, etc.
We buzzed Avinesh, and he confirmed the news to us, saying, “Yes, I am very much doing it.”
We reached out to the Producer and channel spokesperson, but did not get a response till we filed the story.
