Maharana Pratap gets its young Maharana!

Contiloe Telefilms' next historical venture 'Maharana Pratap' for Star Plus is finally in the making, and the production house shot for its pliot yesterday at Karjat.

Though the casting is still on, certain actors have been finalized for the show.

We hear that the childhood version of Maharana will be played by Khurram Khan.

Our source states, "Khurram Khan has been having a hectic workshop at Karjat for past many days. He has been learning the nuances of sword fighting, horse riding etc which a warrior needs to have. Paras Arora Salina Prakash will essay important roles".

"Himanshi Choudhary who essays the role of Sunita in Imagine's Rakt Sambandh will play the surrogate mother of Maharana Pratap, Saranga. Deepraj Rana will play the role of Rimal, while Amar Upadhyay has been roped in to essay Uday Singh. Shahbaaz Khan will also have a vital role to play in the show", adds our source.

Just like Contiloe's historical on Zee TV, Jhansi Ki Rani the sets for Maharana Pratap has been erected in Karjat.

We contacted Himanshi Choudhary and she confirmed  her presence in the show. "I have shot for the show only once, so I really don't have any idea of anything".

We tried calling Deepraj Rana and Shahbaaz Khan, but both were unavailable for comment.
