Mishal Raheja finalised as the new lead in Star Plus' Saraswatichandra?

Talented actor Mishal Raheja who rose to fame with Laagi Tujhse Lagan on Colors and then later seen in Sony TV's episodic series Encounter will be seen making a comeback on the small screen soon.

Yes you all heard it right! The actor who was on a sabbatical after his show Laagi... ended took a step forward and made his Bollywood debut. While he has tasted the success of making it big on the silver screen, he will be seen coming back to his base TV. Mishal has been approached to play the new lead in Sphere Origins' popular show Saraswatichandra on Star Plus.

As we have reported earlier that Saraswatichandra (Gautam Rode) will die and his character will end in the show, the makers have thought of introducing a new lead character. There have been many names doing the rounds for quite sometime now as to who will play the new lead in the show.

There were reports that the lead's character will be played by Kumud aka Jennifer Singh Grover's real life husband Karan Singh Grover or heartthrob actor Vivian Dsena who is currently seen in Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon on Colors. Now the name which has been blocked by the makers is Mishal Raheja.

Our sources say, "Yes, Mishal Raheja has been approached for the new lead role in the show."

We tried contacting Mishal but he remained unavailable for any comments.
