Sooraj Thapar kicked to play Vibhishan in Mahakumbh; his ‘Razia journey’ to end…

Seasoned actor Sooraj Thapar is excited about his special appearance in Life OK’s Mahakumbh (already reported by us). He finds it privileged to be working with the ace director turned producer, Arvind Babbal. Though this will be Sooraj’s first work association with Babbal, Sooraj reminisces the days when he first met Babbalji while he was working with Lekh Tandon for his show Daraar. Says Sooraj, “I have never worked with Babbalji before, but I have met him at various places outside work. I am happy and glad that he offered me this role in Mahakumbh. The show might be going off air, but the manner in which Babbalji has etched the culmination is really fabulous. He is leaving no stone unturned in giving the show a memorable ending.” In Mahakumbh, Sooraj will play the role of Vibhishan, one of the few immortals in Hindu mythology. As for Sooraj’s role in the & TV show, Razia Sultan, we hear that King Iltumush will soon breathe his last. This will end Thapar’s Razia journey. On this the actor states, “Yes, it is true that Iltumush who is in coma now, will die soon. I will be on the lookout for a new role; it can be anything – comedy, negative, or a serious role.” We hear that before losing his life, Iltumush will declare Razia (Pankhuri Awasthy) as the new Sultan.
