Star Plus’ beloved drama series, Jhanak, is gearing up for a significant narrative shift, marked by a dramatic 20-year leap. This bold move means a complete overhaul of the show’s current cast, including the departure of its lead actors Hiba Nawab and Krushal Ahuja. Both actors confirmed their exits, ending an era for fans emotionally invested in their characters’ journeys.
The current cast, who brought the show’s characters to life, will wrap up their shoot by the end of this month. This departure is bittersweet for the fans, who have grown attached to the original cast members over the years.
Casting new leads in Jhanak
In the quest to introduce fresh faces post-leap in Jhanak, the makers have approached several actors for the lead roles. Among those considered were Shoaib Ibrahim and Pranali Rathod, who had reportedly participated in mock shoots. However, due to budget constraints, the makers are now exploring other options to fit the new budgetary requirements without compromising the quality of the show.
The casting process of Jhanak has seen several talented actors auditioning for the show. Shagun Pandey, known for her versatile roles, and Neeharika Roy, who has garnered acclaim for her performances, are in the mix. Megha Ray and Sonal Khilwani have also thrown their hats into the ring, bringing a diverse range of talent to the table. With the casting still underway, it remains to be seen who will ultimately step into the lead roles post-leap.
The channel quickly decided on the leap to boost ratings. The leap is set for the last week of February. The production team is under pressure to finalize the new lead actors. They might adjust the exact timing based on the storyline’s demands to ensure a seamless transition.
Fans of Jhanak are eagerly awaiting further updates on the show’s new direction. The anticipation is palpable as they look forward to seeing how the story unfolds with the new cast and how the characters will evolve in the coming years.
