Salil Ankola to play Shani's father in 'Shani'

Salil will make his debut in the mythological genre with Siddharth Kumar Tewary’s 'Shani'. He says, “The approach towards mythological shows has changed and it’s no longer typical and old school. Only the chaste language will be a challenge, but I am looking forward to playing the part. I was offered the central character, too, but I chose Suryadev as I won’t be required throughout the show and can fulfill my other commitments, including cricket.Come to think of it, without Suryadev, there will be no Shanidev and the character is pivotal and positive.”
