Ekta Kapoor had recently announced the entry of Mr Rishab Bajaj's character in the reboot of her show Kasautii Zindagii Kay. We had earlier reported that Karan Singh Grover was all set to take up the role, but now the latest buzz suggests that he will no longer be playing the iconic role.
A source close to the production house told Pinkvilla, "Karan Singh Grover is no longer being considered for the character of Mr Bajaj by Balaji Telefilms as a source tells us that some rushes of his new show were seen by the creators and they realised that he would not be able to do justice to the role of Mr Bajaj. The reason being that he would look too old opposite the main lead, Erica Fernandes and have hence decided to go ahead and keep their search on for the new Mr Bajaj."
