akshat in leading role

After proving his prowess in the character role of Akshat in Balaji's Kahiin To

Hoga, Chaitanya Choudary finally hits bulls eye! For the very first time he will play a lead in Ankhiyon Ke Jharokon Se, a BAG Films presentation. The new soap is a one hour weekly and is slated for Star Plus.

The story revolves around three protagonists, one being Chaitanya Choudary, the other two are Muskaan Mehani (Mandy of Yeh Mari Life Hai) and Sachin Verma( of Pyaar Ki Kashti Main fame). Muskaan plays a blind girl, Roshni who is engaged to Jeet (Sachin Verma), a top ranked cop. Suraj (Chaitanya), the third angle to the love triangle, plays a small town simpleton.

"I play a school master's son, who is very naive but falls prey to bad luck. My role's sketched on the lines of Shahrukh Khan in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa," expatiates Chaitanya. He is very happy about doing a show outside Balaji, but at the same

time he clarifies, "Balaji has given me a lot I have literally experimented all shades, in their shows, which has worked in my favour."

Muskaan's comfort levels didn't permit her to disclose much about this new show. Same goes for the third lead, Sachin Verma, who was busy shooting for commercials in Mauritius and is finally back to take on television.

Rajesh Chadda, the supervising producer BAG films confirms the star cast and the channel.

"This was a telenovela given to us by Star, and from there on we developed the concept into a drama. The time slot has yet not been decided, so I can't comment on it." On being quizzed about the show's weekly status, Rajesh added, "Ankhiyon Ke ...has a concept which is radically different from our earlier shows like Kumkum, and this decision is in the best interest of the show."

The show is scheduled to hit silver screen by the end of July.
