Deepika Samson to play lead in UTV's show

As we all know, the popular hit series of Tamil 'Kalangal' is going to be made in Hindi by UTV, for Star Plus. We hear that after an extensive search the channel and the production house have signed their female lead.

A little birdie tells us, "The strong minded, independent, working woman in the character 'Abhi', will be essayed by Deepika Samson."

Deepika made her debut in TV with Imagine's Devi. She is presently seen playing the role of Rekha in Zee TV's Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Na Kijo.

As reported by Tellybuzz, the male lead, a charmer, who will go on to have a grey shade will be played by Rohit Khurana. Noted actor Rohini Hatangini, Aishwarya Narkar and Anjan Srivastava have been finalized to play key roles.

We tried calling Deepika, but she remained unavailable.

All efforts to get in touch with Mayuree Chaddha Fiction Head, UTV were futile.
