pooja is a south indian actress!! wow!!

Sony channel's new show Palampur Express finally gets its lead actors who will drive this much awaited train. After Jay Bhanushali opted out of the show Akshat Gupta (last seen in Sangam) will play the role opposite the lead girl Pavni, who will be played by a South Indian actress Pooja Kanwal. The show is currently being shot in Mahabaleshwar.

A source from the sets informs, "Finding the lead girl for the show was very difficult but this search ended after we zeroed down on Pooja Kanwal. After a stint in South Indian films this will be her first Hindi television show. Right now we are shooting with Akshat. We will start shooting with Pooja very soon."

When asked about Akshat's Character he informed, "Akshat is playing Tej Sapru's son in the show. Tej Sapru is playing a MLA and Akshat has passed out of his college in the show. Audiences will see him as a dude in the show. There is a funny coincidence that Tej is Akshat's character name in the show and it's the real name of the actor (Tej Sapru) who plays his father in the show. Having him on the sets is fun."

We called producer Roshan Abbas to confirm about the actors in the show but he said, "I am sorry I cannot say anything at this point of time. Please wait for the right time and we will announce everything about the show."
