I chose Kumkum Bhagya over other offers: Mishal Raheja.

Mumbai: 2018 promises some
amazing cinematic projects, so expect
nothing short of greatness from this
year! Some are in the form Bollywood
projects while some mark the revival
of finest actors on television. And yes,
there are several leading actors
making impressing the masses on the
digital medium too!
The fans of Mishal Raheja and
television lovers would know by now
that the handsome man is extremely
selective about the projects he
chooses. While he was last seen in
Colors' fictional show Ishq Ka Rang
Safed, the actor is finally back on the
small screen, this time in the TRP
topper, Kumkum Bhagya (Balaji
Telefilms) on Zee TV.
Kumkum Bhagya is taking a seven year
leap and Mishal is making an entry to
add the required excitement to the
show.
We asked Mishal on choosing an on-
going show over a fresh show to
which he responded, "I think it's a
blessing for me because when a new
show launches, people are always
worried whether it will work or not,
you're given two months in the initial
phase to see the kind of feedback the
show is receives. Kumkum Bhagya is
already a hit show, the actors in the
show are loved by the entire country,
so I'm glad to be a part of this show,
and it makes everything easier for me.
Shabbir (Ahluwalia) is a fabulous actor
and I've loved his work in the
Bollywood movie Shootout at
Lokhandwala. Sriti too is a household
name. It's an overall exciting package. I
have done a big show before - Laagi
Tujhse Lagan which had a successful
run. I just hope I can be a good
feather in their hat.
On Mishal's association with Balaji
Telefilms, he averred, "Balaji is one of
the biggest production houses in the
country and you can't doubt their
expertise. The technical team... I saw a
few episodes and I loved their DOP,
direction and all the actors. I've
wanted to work with Ms. Ekta Kapoor
for a really long time and this
opportunity seemed right. Everything
fell in place and that's why I took this
job up. I had a couple of offers but a
chose Kumkum Bhagya over them as I
could not let the opportunity pass.
There is a big wave of digital shows in
India.
Elaborating on venturing into the web
scenario, Mishal said, "I did start a
production house early last year under
the banner Mangolake Pictures and
also began the initial work of my
coming of age web show but I got my
Hollywood calling with a music single
around that time so this one took a
backseat.
But someday I will restart the work
again as digital is the future and a very
promising platform. "
Mishal will play a character which will
be of a flamboyant, flashy, upbeat
performer who appears larger than
life and is very animated.
"The stylist has worked out some very
stylish jackets and accessories that add
bling to the costumes. It's very
different compared to my earlier
outings on television, Mishal shared.
