Abhinav Shukla is a happy man now. Shukla who had a tough time sorting his dates for Shakuntalam Telefilms' Kudesan as he is busy doing STAR One's Geet, is finally onboard.
Informs our source, "There was some confusion regarding Abhinav's participation in Kudesan. He is doing Geet and apparently was unable to work his dates out for Shakuntalam Telefilms' second show on COLORS. He was later offered a role in Laado post the leap. But Shukla managed to sort out the date issue and is now finalised for Kudesan. His character will apparently be named Mahesh aka Micchi on the show. The show also features seasoned actress Navneet Nishan and Devi's male lead Abhaas Mehta. They are now looking for the female lead of the show."
Shukla had then told Indya.com that doing two shows simultaneously wouldn't be a problem for him as Endemol that produces Geet would be happy to relieve him for another project. When contacted for a confirmation over his participation in Kudesan, he said, "I don't know."
We sent a text message to producer Shyamasis Bhattacharya but he didn't revert.
We will wait for them to make an official announcement on the show.
