Isha Kopikkar to star in Sony TV's Bajirao Mastani

The 'Peshwa' battle is certainly on! Tellychakkar.com was the first to report about Sony TV and &TV eyeing at recreating the magic of Bajirao Mastani on the small screen. Well, &TV has put out the first teaser for the show. But seems like the makers of the magnum opus on Sony TV are not worried about this development. Yes, it is a race against time and the makers of the Sony TV project are well and truly leading as of now, with them on the verge of finalizing their prime cast. We hear that this ambitious 100 crore project will be helmed by Sphere Origins and creatively produced by Nilanjana Purkayasstha's company Invictus T Mediaworks (the same association as of Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani). This will be the most expensive historical show made on TV screens till date. And we also hear of the show having a huge star cast, not just from TV but also the big screen. Well, we have an exclusive piece of news of the first big name to be roped in to the show. And that happens to be the beautiful B-town actress Isha Kopikkar. Yes, you heard it right. The actress who got noticed for her roles in movies Girlfriend, Darling, Shabri, Kya Kool Hain Hum, 36 China Town, Don and many more will play one of the important characters in the show. As per a credible source, "Isha is very excited to be part of the project. She will play a queen and a beautiful warrior, and will have a very meaty role to portray." We sent out a text message to Producer Sunjoy Wadhwa but did not get any reply. We also sent out a message to the channel spokesperson but were unsuccessful in getting a revert.
