hiten n ejaz

Recent developments on Balaji's Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka indicate that Eijaz Khan will most likely replace Hiten Tejwani in the role of Kunal Sehgal (previously offered to Cezzane Khan).

However, the twist in the tale is that there is no official confirmation about Eijaz stepping into Hiten's shoes yet.

The contenders

Earlier it was reported that after Cezanne backed out of the show over money matters, Hiten was roped in to play the part.

A source working on Nimmo said, "Yes, we have spoken to Eijaz about it. But you know how things work here; anything can change at the last moment. I think in most probability Eijaz will do the role."

When contacted to get his version on the development Khan said, "I don't want to comment, it's too early to say anything."

Hiten however confirmed that he did hear about Eijaz being approached for the role. "There is some confusion at this stage as to who is doing the role. Initially I was told that I am doing it, but I have recently also heard Eijaz's name. I am already doing two shows (Kavyanjali and Kyunki) at the moment, and have no issues with him playing my role."

Nimmo ka hero

The role in question is that of a guy who is extremely rich and will play the love interest of Nimmo on the show. It will be interesting to see who ends up playing the role although the chances of Eijaz doing are the most.

"Eijaz has already been briefed about Nimmo, and has greater chances of taking on the role. But like every script, you never know what turn this one might take in the end."

Creative head for the show Nivedita Basu too confirmed the fact that both Eijaz and Hiten are waiting in line for the same role.

"Hiten was our first choice for Kunal Sehgal, but now Eijaz might be also doing the same.

The irony of the situation is that Eijaz and Hiten have been together, replaced each other or worked opposite each other. After Kesar and Kavyanjali this is the third show where it has happened. Only time will tell who will play the role of Kunal."
