'Ashoka's' Susima is Krishna in 'Radha Krishna'

It's not just the production hands that got changed when the mythological show 'Radha Krishna' went in for a revamp, but even its plot and cast. The show, which was to be originally produced by Dheeraj Kumar, was later handed over to mythological expert Siddharth Kumar Tewary. He changed the plot by turning it into a teenage love story and got the original cast replaced, including Preetika Rao as Radha and Avinesh Rekhi as Krishna.

In the new order, Sumedh Mudgalkar, who was seen in a negative role of Susima in 'Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat', has bagged the role of Krishna and newbie Mallika Singh will be seen as Radha. Informs a source working on the project, "Despite Sumedh having played a negative role in his last show, the producer was convinced that he could be the new Krishna on TV. They have full faith that he will be accepted as Lord Krishna. As this is Mallika's debut role, she will undergo a workshop. The creator of the show, Siddharth, doesn't want to leave any stone unturned to make it a hit with the audience."
Tewary and his actors, Sumedh and Mallika remained unavailable for comment.
