Pavitra Rishta 2 Serial Cast, Actors, Actress, Release Date, Story, Roles: Pavitra Rishta 2: Shaheer Sheikh Replaces Sushant Singh In The Sequel Of This Daily Soap. News says that Ekta Kapoor and Ankita Lokhande discussed Rishta 2.0 in July last year and the casting was recently finalized with Shaheer Sheikh playing the role of new Manav.
Pavitra Rishta completed 12 years on June 1. The leads Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh Rajput made for the most loved celebrity on-screen and off-screen couples at that time. The sudden demise of Sushant Singh Rajput left us shell-shocked. We are still unable to believe the fact that the actor is no more. He acted in many movies but he is so popular as Manav Deshmukh from Pavitra Rishta.
Pavitra Rishta 2 first look
Along with sharing the pics, the makers also wrote, “Sometimes in most ordinary lives, we find the most extraordinary love stories! Witness the extraordinary love story of Manav and Archana.”
Casting director Aditya Suranna says to the media “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 pass Ek benchmark hai (all of us have a benchmark).”
He also 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”.
Who Will Play Manav Deshmukh?
Pavitra Rishta made Sushant Singh Rajput a star overnight. Now with Pavitra Rishta 2.0 Shaheer Sheikh, who is best known for his show, Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi will be playing Manav Deshmukh. Ankita will be back to play Archana again after 7 long years. The other cast members will be locked soon.”
