Pavitra Punia steps in as lead in Fireworks' next..

TellyBuzz had earlier reported about B.P. Singh's Fireworks Productions coming up with a fiction show for the revamped Star Desh. The show titled Jab Jeena Ho Aan Se was to have Akangsha Rawat, Hasan Zaidi and Piyush Sachdev playing the lead roles. However, the latest update is that Akangsha has been replaced, and the pilot has been shot with Pavitra Punia playing the lead role.

A source states, "Akangsha was in fact a very good choice for the role, taking into consideration her acting skills. But the general consensus was that the central character needed to look young, and this actually brought about the replacement. Pavitra Punia who played lead in Star Plus' Jab We Met was found to be apt to play the social activist's role in the show".

Our efforts to get in touch with Akangsha and Pavitra remained futile.

The show which dwells on the differences in human values that prevail between the older generation and the generation of today, will also see Harsh Chhaya and Mohan Kapoor in vital roles.

The unit has shot the pilot as of now, and the show is expected to be one of the shows in the long list of launches on Star Desh...
