MUMBAI:
Dheeraj Dhoopar is currently in Colors' newly launched drama series Sherdil Shergill.
The actor is playing the lead role opposite television hottie Surbhi Chandna. This is the second time Surbhi and Dheeraj have collaborated on a project. Before Sherdil Shergill, Dheeraj and Surbhi were seen together in Naagin 5.
Dheeraj is seen in a totally different avatar in this show. His character Rajkumar Yadav, is loved by the viewers.
While Dheeraj proved to be a perfect choice for playing this character, the makers had apparently approached many others before Dheeraj was locked.
Let's take a look:
1. Arjun Bijlani
Arjun was also offered the lead role in the show, but he rejected the offer.
2. Mohsin Khan
The YRKKH actor was also offered the role of Rajkumar, but he turned down the show.
3. Aly Goni
The Yeh Hai Mohabbatein fame was one of the initial choices of the makers for the lead role. Aly doesn't have any other show currently in his kitty.
4. Sharad Malhotra
The Naagin 5 actor would have romanced Surbhi again in this show if he hadn't declined the offer.
5. Pearl V Puri
The Naagin fame actor, was also offered the lead character of Rajkumar, but he chose not to do it for reasons best known to him.
Well, it seems this role was destined for Dheeraj, and he is making the most of this opportunity.
