Talking about the storyline, the source says, “It is a fantasy based show and is a fight between the good and the evil. The foundation of the show is the Dhruv flower. It is about two forces in the universe- negative and positive. The story is about a king who is blessed with a son who he christens as Angad. He is the one who will fight against the evil. The shooting is currently happening in Jaisalmer, Pokhran, Jodhpur. After a month we will return to Mumbai and will start shooting here.”
When contacted, Saurabh Pande refused to comment and said, “I can’t divulge any details. One will have to wait and watch.”
The show is slated to start in a month’s time on 9X in its primetime slot.
Its interesting to note how a channel makes use of it’s out of its work actors. As we say loyalty always pays!
