Erica Fernandes roped in by Ekta Kapoor to play the lead role in the remake of 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay'
Earlier this year, Film/TV producer and director Ekta Kapoor had hinted the remake of popular TV show Kasautii Zindagii Kay.
And now, it looks like things are falling into place.
A step in the direction has been taken with Erica Fernandes dorning the shoes of Shweta Tiwari, who played Prerna in the popular TV saga.
The Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi actress Erica, who shall be playing the lead role in the show, recently shot for the teaser.
Even before the release of the teaser, fan pages have started buzzing with photos from the shoot.
Donning a black dress and red dupatta, Erica seems geared up to step into the shoes of Shweta Tiwari.
While rumour mills have it that Erica’s Kuch Rang... co-star Shaheer Sheikh will play Anurag, sources reassert that he is not in consideration as the actor has already signed Mughal-e-Azam on Colors.
So, the hunt for the male lead is still on.
A source told indianexpress.com, “Kasautii has always been special for Ekta and now that she is rebooting it, she is keeping a close watch on all developments. The teaser has been shot to officially announce the series and a complete promo will be released once the male lead is locked. The creatives are quite kicked about adapting the show in today’s time and the channel is also betting on the show to garner some ratings for it.”
Erica Fernandes is an ex-Miss India and has quite a few south Indian films to her credit. The 25-year-old actress debuted on television with Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi.
In fact, in February, Ekta had shared a post on her Instagram handle.
The post read, “With a piece of my broken heart I wrote in 2001 …17 years later I ‘ reboot’ it dipping it in personal pain and lacing it with experiences of an older me! Bringing back my most successful love saga that ran for 9 years!!! Again I’ll take my broken heart n make it into art!!! #namestobeannounced#waitfortheannouncement.”
And recently when she had a meeting with Star about the show, she had tweeted, “So met @StarPlus team yest !emo moment for me!! About to announce a ‘remake’ of a old epic saga!let d ride of nostalgia begin JAI MATA DI.”
Well, we are waiting with bated breath for the show, aren't you?
