After a long hiatus, Colors' poster boy Sidharth Shukla is back in action. As per reports in a daily, he has been finalized to play the male lead in Shashi-Sumeet Mittal's hero-centric show for Colors. The actor, who catapulted to fame as Shiv in Balika Vadhu, also won the seventh season of Khatron Ke Khiladi. He later went on to host the seventh season of talent hunt show India's Got Talent, which concluded a few months ago. Sid also acted in Karan Johar's film, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. It is almost after a year and a half that the actor is returning to the fiction genre on TV. A source associated with the project said, "While there were reports suggesting that Mishal Raheja has been roped in as the hero in the said show, it is Sidharth who has bagged the part. It's a love triangle and the show is loosely based on Salman Khan-starrer Chori Chori Chupke Chupke. Sidharth has a great personality and fits the bill perfectly."

Furthersome, actress Jasmin Bhasin, the leading lady in Tashan-e-Ishq, will be playing the female protagonist in the show. Jasmin will be playing the role that was originally played by Preity Zinta. Tina Dutta, who came into limelight with her character Ichcha from Uttaran, is also set to make her comeback with the show. Tina is most likely doing the role originally played by Rani Mukherjee in the movie.

According to sources, the show will highlight the sensitive topic of surrogacy, which is a very important and pressing issue in the country. The series plans to shed light on the topic in a sensitive and mature manner because the topic is of immense interest to an urban audience.
