Kunal Jaisingh bags a Balaji Telefilms’ show

Kunal Jaisingh, who became a household name after playing one of the male leads on Star Plus’ hugely popular show Ishqbaaaz, has been missing from the scene for quite some time now. If you missed the actor all this while, we have got an exciting piece of news to share with you. According to reports, Kunal Jaisingh is gearing up to make his comeback on the small screen soon. Yes, you heard that right!

If fresh reports are to be believed, Jaisingh is in talks to play the lead role in producer Ekta Kapoor’s next show. If things fall into place, he will sign the yet to be tiled project on the dotted line soon. “This will be a family drama and the makers are keen on casting Kunal in the lead,” a source close to the development tells a publication.

Sharing an interesting backstory to Kunal being approached for the lead role in the upcoming Balaji show, the source adds, “He was earlier approached for the central character in Ekta’s Yeh Hai Chahatein and had even auditioned for it. While Ekta liked his audition, the deal could not materialise as Kunal had some prior commitments. However, she remembered his performance and her team approached Kunal as soon as the team started brainstorming over the cast of the new show. Talks are still at a nascent stage, and the actor and the production house are discussing the remuneration. We are hoping for the deal to be locked soon.”

As mentioned above, Kunal Jaisingh shot to overnight fame with 4 Lions Films Ishqbaaaz, also starring Nakuul Mehta, Surbhi Chandna, Shrenu Parikh, Leenesh Mattoo and Mansi Srivastava. The audience loved the actor in the role of Omkar Singh Oberoi.

An official announcement regarding his collaboration with Ekta Kapoor is highly awaited.
