Pawan Shankar in Balaji's untitled show - Article

Television soap queen Ekta Kapoor's much talked about show on Sony has been hogging the limelight since past few days. However, the latest news is that Pawan Shankar, who rose to fame with Siddhanth on Star One, has been roped in to play the male lead opposite Mona Singh.

Buzz is that Yash Tonk, Khalid Siddiqui and Amit Sarin were also approached for this role, but Pawan Shankar won the race. In fact, he was finalized at the last minute. Pawan has been finalized to play Mona's husband in the show.

The story of this untitled show revolves around a husband-wife, where the husband gets involved in an extra-marital affair. Rumor has it that having tasted success with their mature love story, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Balaji Telefilms now wants to experiment with the concept of infidelity. As earlier, reported by TellyChakkar.com the show will be loosely inspired from the hit Bollywood flick, Biwi no. 1.

The shooting for the show is expected to start in December and the show will go on air early next year.
