Talented actor-director Manish Khanna will be the next big name to join the cast of & TV’s historical saga, Razia Sultan.

The magnum opus show, produced by Swastik Productions will see Manish in a different avatar, that of an Egyptian King.

A reliable source states, “The portion of Manish’s track along with the introduction of the lead, Altunia (Rohit Purohit) were supposed to be shot in Egypt. However, there has been a change in plan. The sequences scheduled to be shot in Egypt will now be shot in an outdoor location in India.”

Manish’s character, we hear will be negative.

The actor was last seen essaying the role of Govardhan Kaneria in Star Plus’ Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara.

When contacted, Manish confirmed that he is part of & TV’s Razia Sultan.
