Farooq Sheikh, Jatin Shah in Dahan

Endemol India is trying to rope in some big and talented names for its upcoming show Dahan on Zee TV. After finalising Bollywood actor Yashpal Sharma, other stalwarts joining him are Farooq Sheikh and Lubna Salim. Actor Jatin Shah too will be seen in a key role. Informs a source, “After Yashpal, the production house has brought in veterans like Farooq Sheikh and Lubna. Balaji find Jatin Shah too will be seen in the show playing a pivotal role in it. Anupama Singh who played Vikram Gokhale’s wife in Colors’ Jeevan Saathi too will be seen in the show. They have also signed Bhavna Khanna. The show will launch sometime in May and in all likelihood will be a primetime daily. Yashpal will play the central character; of a Thakur, an arbitrator in a village in UP.” We sent a text message to Sheikh who said, “I am still reading the script. I will confirm this in a week’s time.” Salim however didn’t revert. Shah too refused to comment. We also sent a text message to Rajesh Chaddha, director Operations, Endemol India but he didn’t revert. Where Salim was last seen in Star Plus’ Baa Bahoo aur Baby, Farooq is best remembered for his hosting in Zee TV’s popular chat show Jeena issi ka naam hai.
