The Shashi-Sumeet Productions show titled Badi Devrani has just wrapped up with a shoot schedule in Kolkata. And with the team starting regular shoot in Mumbai, the show seems to be ready for its launch. 

We have already written about Mudit Nayar playing the male lead. 

And we now have more on the other important actors in the cast list. 

Veteran actor Sudhir Dalvi, better known as Babuji in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi will play the patriarch in the male lead’s family. Actress Vanya Joshi will play his wife, and dadi to Mudit. 

Jyoti Gauba, who was recently seen in Ek Hasina Thi on Star Plus will play another important role. She will be wife to actor Daya Shankar Pandey (already reported by us) and taiji to Mudit. 

Chetan Pandit, who was last seen in Saraswatichandra will play the female lead’s father. 

Also, we hear that a new girl Megha Chakraborthy has been signed to play the female protagonist opposite Mudit. 

TV and Bollywood actor Raju Shrestha of fame Chitchor, Kitaab, Bawarchi will also feature in the show. 

Says a source, “Jyoti Gauba will play the role of Kaushalya devi, who will be the wife to the egoistic Daya Shankar Pandey. She would be treated like a slave by her husband; however she will manage to spread her love and keep her family united. Raju Shrestha will play the massa to Mudit’s character.”

When contacted, Sudhir Dalvi told us, “Yes, I am part of the show. But I don’t think I am entitled to talk about it right now.”

Jyoti Gauba was unavailable for comment, and so were Chetan Pandit and Raju.
