Kunal Verma to play the lead in Rajan Shahi's Havan..

Rajan Shahi's much-awaited show on Colors, tentatively titled Havan which is based on the ardent following and faith of a girl towards a Godly man has almost got its cast now.

Kunal Verma, the guy who shot into the limelight with Tujh Sang Preet Lagayi Sajana has been finalized to play the male lead's role in the show.

A little birdie tells us, "Kunal has always been in the good books of Rajan Shahi. The Producer has wanted to cast him in one of his shows. In fact, Kunal was one of the options to essay the role of Viren Sood in Chand Chupa Badal Mein, after which the role went to Kinshuk  Mahajan. Kunal too wanted to work with Directors Kut one day, and it looks as though his dream has come true now".

When contacted, Kunal Verma confirmed the news saying, "Yes, I am doing the show. But I do not know anything on my role. You can call me later".

We tried contacting Producer Rajan Shahi, and even sent him a text, but did not get a revert till the time we filed the story.

Meanwhile, it is also heard that Shubhangi Aatre will play a key role in the show.

Havan was originally designed to launch at the afternoon slot, but we hear that the channel might reconsider the decision and give it an evening slot.

Guess this is going to be the next big launch on Colors..
