Kanisha Malhotra joins Nikkhil Advani's 'P.O.W.'

Actress Kanisha Malhotra, who has previously appeared in shows like "Jai Jai Jai Bajrang Bali", "Gumrah" and "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein", will next be seen in filmmaker Nikkhil Advani's finite TV series "P.O.W. Bandi Yuddh Ke".

In the show, Kanisha will be seen as Ananya, a news producer who works with a channel that shows updates about events around the border.

"I am very excited regarding the role since it's Nikkhil Advani's show, and working with film directors is a different experience altogether with such vast star cast," Kanisha said in a statement.

The Star Plus show features names like Purab Kohli, Sandhya Mridul, Amrita Puri, Satyadeep Dubey and Rasika Dugal.

"My entry in the show takes place while producing news about Nazneen's (Sandhya) new cook book, and moving on to bigger events, which I cannot reveal much about," she added.

An Indian adaptation of the Israeli TV drama "Hatufim", "P.O.W. Bandi Yuddh Ke" tells the story of two missing-in-action soldiers who return home after 17 years.
