Kasturi's starcast out of the closet !


The Balaji camp is all set to add a new K to its kitty. The show in question is Kasturi (as the tentative title goes) inspired by Yash Chopra's yesteryears' romantic hit Silsila. Sources reveal that the upcoming serial will go on air by the end of August.

Amit Dua,is slated to play the second lead

While Balaji is still hunting for it's male lead, whose character name is Garv, a source from the production house reveals that Pallavi Subhash (Preeto from Tumhari Disha) has been penciled in to play the title role of Kasturi. Apart from Pallavi the other actors who've been signed on are -Amit Dua (Sameer of Kyunki…) is slated to play the second lead, Jatin Shah (SaharaOne's Saath Rahega Always), Vinay Jain(Remix fame), Salil Ankola, model turned actors Rahul Jagtiani and Muzamil Akhtar.

Salil Ankola too is a part of this mega soap.

"I play Aryamaan, a business tycoon. I am Salil Ankola's younger brother, who is very individualistic and a strong willed guy. Both of us just cannot see eye to eye in the serial and are always at loggerheads with each other," says Vinay Jain. He further says, "I've just signed on the show a few days ago and we start shooting next month in Kolkatta. I am very excited about the rich look that I have in the show."

When contacted, Pallavi was reluctant to reveal much about her character. She said, "A model co-coordinator had forwarded my portfolio to Ekta. She liked it and asked me to give a screen test. However, things are still in their initial stages and I've yet to sign on the dotted line."

Though Silsila, the Bollywood flick was all about love, romance, marriage and adultery, as per our source, but Kasturi's story is much more complicated. The show will probably have four male characters and one protagonist, with various different plots weaved in. Apart from this, the serial will also be garnished with the usual Balaji tadka.

Well, lets hope the mega soap breaks away from the prime time clutter!.

UMMM...Its quite interesting,isnt it..Its not that kekta never ropes in any non-balaji actor...the talented ones Like RK and Vinay do get noticed and do get work👏👏

Vinay is a superb actor and I wish him all the best for his future endeavours👍🏼....Apu and Mona are too quite good actors,but surprisingly they're yet to find themselves work

Yeah you are right! Vinay and RK are superb actors!👏 So are Mona and Apu! I am sure Apu will soon start doing a kekta soap as SS will recommend him!😉 But as far as it goes with Mona she thinks that Kekta soaps are too low for her!🤢 But its not like that! They are okay!😕

As much as we might bash kekta,the fact remains the same that her shows are the most popular shows and garner whopping TRP's...She has a niche audience,who love the kekta masala and her twists.....Plus kekta pays unbelievable amounts😛..and her finds become the biggest stars..Compare Apu's telly career graph and that of Eijoo or IQ...Apu is as good an actor as the other two,but Apu doesnt enjoy as much fan frenzy as the two Khans enjoy

Apu was infact offered kahiin tho hoga..he shoudl have taken that up while JJKn was on air...in that way,he would have atleast had some work....whatever guys,too long a break is dangerous🤢..Infact,as much as people might vilify kekta,its a fact that she gives a chance to struggling actors,and her shows DO have a certain entertainment value....

buffie are u stil awake,it must be 2.30 a.m right now

abt ektaa ,I agree and as musch as i despise her serials,I admire her as a businesswoman who has tasted success at such a young age and she is pretty shrewd too as a businesswoman.

As for joining balaji camp,I am glad that Vinay jain got work and he got into the balaji camp .I mean if its a good role why not take it but the only problem with k-serials is that it starts with a bang and then ends up repeating the same old ghisa pita stories which is constantly repeated in every k-serial. I mean all the scenes are repetitive and seen in many serials .

apu is sure to join the k-band sooner or later .As for mona lets see , if she remains unemployed for longgggggg time then who knows she may join if given the offer ,which i highly doubt 😆

Overall ,all are good actors and they all deserve good roles and all the best to all of them.We were used to seeing them together in JJKN but now each one will be in each serial 😭

Yeah! Buffie and Tina you are exactly right! No matter how much we bash Kekta and her sopes we have to agree that most of the viewers like those sopes! Even I watch some of her shows! She is quite successfull at such a young age! And she helps struggling actors! And those who work with kekta have apermanent work source1 So Apu should work with Keketa if he has no other work in his hands! And So should Mona!
