Vikram Acharya aka Sameer of Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki is grinning from ear to ear. The suave actor has been roped in to play the lead role in the new show Shakira on Bindaas channel.

Vikram sounded upbeat about his character. "I'm portraying the positive character of Sanjay Gujral, who's a dashing media tycoon. The character has been etched on the lines of business tycoon Vijay Mallya. I've just completed the first schedule of shooting."

Shakira is an action packed tale of a girl called Shakira who turns into a super woman overnight. Her conscious mind is not aware of it. "I'll be the love interest of Shakira (played by Sonia Singh). My character will slowly change things in her life. I think I'm very lucky to bag such a meaty role."

So, how difficult is it to portray two different characters on-screen? "Sameer in Woh…is a spoil brat whereas Sanjay is aggressive but is well aware of his responsibilities," reveals Vikram.

Further elaborating on the track changes in Woh Rehne Wali, Vikram says, "After Aamir Ali's exit from the show, my responsibility has increased twofold. The up and downs in Sameer's life will bring in a lot of surprises for the viewers. Also, Sameer will soon turn positive to add in spice."

Here's wishing our bindaas Vikram all the best!
