QH leap, to go off air, Raqesh Quits - DISCUSS ONLY HERE - Page 41

Qubool the show of 4 Lions Films for Zee TV, has been hitting the headlines ever since its inception. First, it marked Karan Singh Grover's return to television, which put his fans to frenzy. Next, his unceremonious exit from the project made noise in the media as loud as a hungry bear's growl. KSG's egress brought Raqesh Vashisht as the new Asad, but he too, as reported exclusively by Tellychakkar.com, opted out of the show owing to leap issues.

And thus began the hunt for the new lead opposite the younger Surbhi Jyoti (who would be the grown-up daughter of Asad and Zoya post leap).

Well, here is some exclusive information that we have got!!

Karanvir Bohra will most likely be the new lead in Qubool Hai. Presently, final talks are on with the actor, is what we hear.

A reliable source says, "The channel and the production house surely wanted to bring in a known and popular face to take the story ahead, post its generation leap. Gurmeet Choudhary was also in contention. But it looks Karanvir Bohra will bag the role in all probability, if nothing earth shattering (in terms of creative decision) happens in the coming hours."

Incidentally, Karanvir was short-listed to play the new lead post the death of RK in Colors' Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon too. However, the actor had turned down the offer owing to his "good friendship" with Vivian. Finally, the role went to Gunjan Utreja.

When contacted, Karanvir hit a startled tone, "This is news to me. You are the first to tell me about it. Let's see if I get approached for the show."

Our efforts to reach Producer Gul Khan proved futile. However, we did drop a text message to her and on receiving any reply shall update the space in a jiffy.
The channel spokesperson too did not reply to our query.

As per schedule, shoot with the new lead on the show will begin soon.
