Popular South Indian actress Meenakshi Dixit will play the female lead. Dixit has been credited as a prominent name in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada films.

Vega Moda, will portray the other primary character. The actress and model, who hails from Chhattisgarh is again a prominent name in the Southern cinema.

The lady has been off the screens for a year now and with this show she is supposed to make a comeback. This will also be her first project on Hindi television.
“Meenakshi’s character has a little edge over Vega’s,” a little birdie maintains.
Another actor who plays a very important role in the series is noted Indian actor and theatre personality Ram Gopal Bajaj. The PadmaShri awardee was last seen in Star Plus’ Rishton Ka Chakravyuh and Akshay Kumar starrer Jolly LLB 2.
The versatile actor has a strong presence in the entertainment space. The makers are in no mood to cast big names for this content driven show. “They have chosen talented actors for the show,” an insider reveals.
Another development that we’ve heard is that the makers have already started prepping up for the main shoot. Things would be finalized by the end of this month or the beginning of July. The new production house is helmed by a bunch of writers including Subrat Sinha.
