Pearl Grey’s SpellBound Productions has churned out some path-breaking shows like Pratigya and Pratha in association with Manmohan Shetty’s Walkwater Productions.
But now, Pearl is all set to kick-start her solo innings in the world of TV production. The lady with a superb creative mind has decided to launch her new show on Star Plus, tentatively titled Pyaar Ki Naukri, not in association with any the other production house but solely under Spellbound Productions. Furthermore, the show has already managed to gain attention as it will mark the comeback of Aamna Sharif on TV after Balaji’s Kahiin To Hoga.
Now the latest dope is that Yashdeep Nain, who was earlier seen in Perfect Bride and Yeh Ishq Haaye, has been roped in to play the male lead in the show. His character’s name is Raj Diwan.
“Yes, Yashdeep will play the lead male lead in the show. The casting for the show took eight months,” confirmed Pearl Grey to Tellychakkar.com.
Pearl further went on to say that initially she was apprehensive to cast Yashdeep. “But after he auditioned for the role, I knew that he is perfect for Raj Diwan,” revealed Pearl.
The story is about a young boy falling in love with an older woman. Yashdeep will play Aamna’s love interest in the show. Other actors in the show include Sachin Khurana - who will play Aamna’s fiancé – and Kishori Shahane – who will be Aamna’s mother.
The shooting for pilot episodes will begin from 15 December 2011. However, there were rumours that Pyaar Ki Naukri has been influenced from the yesteryear popular cult show, Astitva-Ek Prem Kahani. “Not at all. Only the age difference between the leads is a common factor. Other than that there are no other similarities. Trust me, the show has a concept that has never been explored before,” said the enthusiastic producer.
