TOI-Sudhanshu Pandey returns from the dead

Actor Sudhanshu Pandey has been brought back from the dead in Yash Patnaik's 'Ek Veer Ki Ardaas...Veera'. This 'revival' could have been prompted either by the popularity of his character, Sampoorna Singh, or the fact that actor Kapil Nirmal is contemplating quitting the show post the time leap.

Interestingly, Sudhanshu's character was touted as a cameo right from the beginning.

Says the actor, "The ambiguity over my death has left the door for my re-entry open. The character became popular and so, the channel and the production house decided to bring it back. I don't know the duration of the leap, but I have no qualms playing father to grownups, as, these days, it's not required to colour your hair grey. You don't have to project any image you don't want to. As long as the character is challenging and interesting, the rest doesn't bother me. If I don't like something, I have the option to quit."

Is he aware of his co-actors contemplating on quitting the show? "I have shot with them, but we never had any conversation about it."
