Rakshak - Remember the original Kkavya? We don't blame you if you don't. Rakshak, a crew member in B R Films, was spotted by a Balaji camp member and
offered the role opposite Natassha. "I dreamt of films, films and only films. I wanted to earn my first break in a Karan Johar film. But destiny had other plans," the guy had said at the time of the show's launch. But obviously, having his voice dubbed and affording him 25 takes per shot proved a little tedious for the fast paced Balaji Telefilms. The production house admitted, while replacing him with the tried-and-tested Eijaz Khan, that Star Plus had spent a lot on promoting Rakshak, and that bringing in another Kkavya was not an easy decision.
Rakshak is back in television wilderness, albeit with a promise that he will be back, bigger and better. We hope so too.
