Veteran film actors Mithun Chakraborty and Jackie Shroff have been approached for a prominent role in the hit mythological TV show 'Devon Ke Dev Mahadev'.

Demon Arunasur will make an entry in the story line of the show, in which telly actor Mohit Raina essays the title role.

"Mithun Chakraborty or Jackie Shroff are likely to be roped in for this character. All details with research material have been sent to them. And the talks are on. Also, Danny Denzongpa has been approached for the same role," a source said.

"The reason for approaching these senior actors was that they (makers) were looking for a strong character, someone who has the capacity for an action sequence. Within a week, one of the three will be shortlisted," the source said.

Apparently TV may be a new calling for Danny and Jackie but Mithun Chakraborty has been judging popular dance reality show 'Dance India Dance'.

The entry of this new character Arunasur will start by November 29, and go on for three months.
