Casting director of ‘Pavitra Rishta 2.0’ confirms Ankita & Shaheer lead

Shaheer Sheikh has opened up about playing the role originally essayed by Sushant Singh Rajput in the much awaited sequel of ‘Pavitra Rishta’.

Talking about ‘Pavitra Rishta 2.0’, casting director Adityoa Suranna told Zoom Digital, “Pavitra Rishta 2.0 is completely digital. To be honest, it is a challenge for everybody. The task is not only for me but also for the actors who have been locked. If we have seen something already, we have already set a benchmark. If this was a new show, whatever we would do, would be fresh for people. But already, hum sabke paas ek benchmark hai (all of us have a benchmark).”

Suranna continued, “It is not only for me but for the actors, directors and for everyone. There are two people (from the old cast), Ankita Lokhande is playing Archana’s part, Usha ma’am is playing her part. We have already seen them and have loved them. But for the rest of the actors, they have a challenge. Especially for Manav, for Shaheer Sheikh it is a big challenge to live up to that space. But at the same time, it is a challenge for directors, me and other actors as well.”
