| Sumeet replaces Eijaz in Kwahish | ||
| Balalji's new show Kwahish has undergone a major shuffle. Eijaz Khan, who was to play the lead has opted out of the show. Replacing him would be Sumeet Sachdev aka Gautam of Kyunki fame. When asked about the latest development Sumeet says, "I will be playing the lead protagonist, Kabir Khan in Kwahish. He's the son of a business tycoon in Dubai The show is targeted at the Urdu speaking audiences in the Middle East and West Asia. It's a very exciting role and I am preparing myself for it at the moment" The story is set against a Muslim backdrop. Paired opposite him is the ravishing newcomer Priya Bhatheja, who plays Aafren Hussain, a law student in the show. In a turn of events, Aafreen has to shoulder family responsibility early and lands up a job with Kabir Khan. This is how the love story begins that later witnesses the trademark Balaji melodrama. Adds a source from the unit, "Kwahish will entirely be shot in Dubai. Currently, we're shooting some small portions in Mumbai. In about a week, the whole unit will start the Dubai schedule." Here's hoping that Kwahish helps Sumeet's sagging career. About two years back, the actor rose to fame as Tulsi's beta Gomzi, and was seen as the next hottie on the charts. But somehow, after the generation leap in the show, one hasn't seen his character develop further. Currently, Sumeet is also being seen in Karam Apnaa Apnaa. I wish Eijaz was Kabir in it😠|
