Amith Behll: Not new to theatre!

and last seen in Sony's Ek Ladki Anjaani Si as ACP Vishwas Diwan, is getting ready to experiment with his first love - theatre.

After a gap of a decade, Amith will be spotted in Dinesh Thakur's play Topi Shukla, written by Dr Rahi Muzoom Rezaa. The play focuses on the narrowmindedness of Indian society post Partition. It sketches the background of Aligarh of the 1960s and stars Dinesh Thakur, Preeta Mathur Thakur and Sushil Bahutiyar.

The story revolves around a Muslim couple and a Hindu boy whose innocent relationship is challenged by a society, which terms religion superior to humanity.

Amith will be seen in front of a live audience after a gap of 10 years. "I have worked with Neena Gupta, Lillette Dubey, Paritosh Painter and many more but Topi Shukla will be my return to experimental theatre. Before that, I had worked in Kanyadan written by Vijay Tendulkar, which was on the lines of sensitive and experimental theatre. That was the first time I met Dinesh (Thakur) and recently we decided to team up for this venture," says Amith who changed the spelling of his name sometime back after visiting Sanjay Jumani. Eventhough Amith visited Sanjay Jumani year and half back he wasn't quite serious about changing the spelling of his name untill things weren't exactly falling into place so decided to go with the new spelling and added an extra H and L to his name.

Amith hasn't forsaken TV altogether. One can spot him in Mamtaa on Zee TV and Zarra Si Zindagi on ARY Digital. He will also be spotted in the soon to be released movie Eik Dasttak besides he has also entired Chi and Me.
