According to our source, "Anas Rashid will be playing the lead in DJ's Creative Unit's show on COLORS tentatively titled 'Visarjan'. The story is about a very lively and full of life girl called Kajri, who is devoid of all emotions due to her playful behaviour. The male lead's family is a joint family headed by the Rani Maa, played by noted actress Kanika Dang. Rohit Purohit plays the brother of the male lead, and is the main antagonist of the show".

Anas Rashid plays a very passionate character who falls in love with the girl, who he gets married to in order to protect her dignity.

The parents of the female lead will be played by Lalit Parimoo and Jaya Bhattacharya. The female lead has not been finalized yet. The show is already on floors, and is expected to launch in January 2010.

When contacted, Jaya Bhattacharya refused to comment, while Lalit Parimoo was unavailable.
