MUMBAI: Recently, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai completed 10 years, along with it comes a bigger surprise as producer Rajan Shahi is all set to come up with a spin-off based on the same show.

 The maverick Shahi is known for creating stars out of actors, and this time he has roped in Shaheer Shiekh, and Rhea Sharma to play leads of the show.

Shahi confirmed the news to a leading publication that Shaheer has been signed to play the male lead. He will be seen in a dynamic role, which will be different from his previous outings.  He also realised that some of the characters from the original show deserve to be explored further in the spin-off and the title of the serial is yet to be decided.

Our sources have informed us that Rhea Sharma is also finalized to play the female lead. Rhea was last seen in Star Plus’ Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh Piyaji.

We tried reaching out to Shaheer and Rhea but both remained unavailable to comment.

Will Shaheer and Rhea’s chemistry create magic? Do drop in your comments below.
