MUMBAI: Zee TV’s second season of its immensely successful weekend thriller, Brahmarakshas has been keeping the audience hooked with the gripping account of the rakshas who has returned with twice as much power and is on a mission for immortality. Having enthralled the viewers with unpredictable twists and turns in Kalindi’s life, the show recently took a two-year leap, bringing in a package of surprises for its viewers. While a grieving Angad (Pearl V. Puri) is seen mourning the loss of his beloved Kalindi (Nikki Sharma) who he believes has died as a result of his own actions, Kalindi’s look alike - Chandni enters as the modern ‘chorni’ and is set to bring much chaos in his life. Amidst all of this, actor Manish Khanna who earlier played a pivotal role in the show is all set to return, this time in the character of a eunuch.
Having previously portrayed the character of Jwala, the tantric, Manish will now be seen playing the role of his transgender brother, Irawat who bears a connection with the Brahmarakshas and enters as the new villain in Angad’s life and unknowingly in Chandni’s life too. The actor couldn’t be more thrilled to have returned with yet another interesting character and in fact will be seen donning a look similar to Bollywood actor Ashutosh Rana’s character in Sangharsh.
Sharing his thoughts, Manish said, “From the numerous roles that I have essayed on television, this character is one of the most unique and challenging ones I have had to play until now. I was required to bring a considerable change in my body language and even practise a bit of voice modulation to bring out the perfect essence of this role. Ashutosh Rana, who has been a dear friend became my immediate source of reference when it came to styling this character. He played the role of a eunuch in the film Sangharsh and I absolutely loved his performance including the way his character was showcased. We have tried to bring out a similar look in my character while bringing in a few unique and creative elements to the appearance as well. I just hope the viewers love this comeback of mine.”
Well, we can’t wait for Manish to make his re-entry into the show.
