After appointing Varun Ish Nanda as her personal associate in May, Ekta Kapoor has now designated him the lead actor in Koi Jaane Kya Hoga

Varun Ish Nanda

When Varun Ish Nanda joined Ekta Kapoor as her personal associate this May, the last thing that he dreamt was being cast as the lead actor in one of her shows just after four months of being in Balaji Telefilms. Recently, Ekta decided that Varun will play the lead actor in Koi Jaane Kya Hoga.

While the first part of Koi Jaane Kya Hoga had Prachi Desai as the lead actress, Anita Hassanandani has now been approached to play the lead actress opposite Varun in the second part.

It is learnt that Varun bagged the role while he was narrating the show's concept to Ekta. She believed that Varun perfectly fit the bill as a rich spoilt brat in the show. This isn't the first time that Varun has acted in a Balaji show. He was earlier seen in a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance in Kasauti Zindagii Kay and Kasturi.

Varun said, "I play Rahul Raichand, son of Bollywood's biggest producer and the next super star in the making. He is someone who is full of himself and is always surrounded by pretty girls. The role is quite close to the lives of many superstars. I can relate to the role as I too led a carefree life before I joined Balaji."

The Delhi-based boy who is a computer engineer by profession, adds, "Acting happened by chance. I have done theatre in my college days. It feels good to watch myself on screen. Being behind the camera gives me the creative satisfaction that I seek, while acting makes me feel good about myself. I am happy doing both. "

Suraj Rao, Script Head of the show, says, "Yes. Varun is acting in the show. He plays a rich film producer's son who gets into trouble and tries to find his way out. He had done some small roles before Ekta decided to cast him as the lead actor for this show."

Varun's look will be inspired from John Abraham's look in Dhoom. He will also be seen driving high-end cars and riding sports bikes. The show's shooting will commence on October 12.
As Varun wants to direct, he will soon take up course in direction also.

Hmmm... Prachi used to be in this show, but not anymore.

If she was part of this show, with her current schedule, she would probably have to work for 26 hours a day! 😆

She has enough on her plate as it is... from her current schedule, JDJ will definitely take up a bit more time and become more stressing... dancing is a lot tougher than it looks!

God bless.

JDJ is a show where the participants are eliminated one by one, on the basis of audience vote. So, not really sure how long Prachi will be on the show, could be just one episode, more or till the end! This only the voting audience knows.

But have to say, unlike the musical reality shows, Nach Baliye and JDJ last year saw the deserving candidates win, I mean to say the best dancers won!!

While I personally think Ms. Desai is very endearing, with the media reports of her workload I wonder when does this young lady get the time to sleep? 😕
