Eijaz Khan in Rahul Tewary-Saba Mumtaz's next for Sony TV

After auditioning several actors for their mature love story, which will air on Sony Entertainment Television, Swastik Productions have finalised versatile actor Eijaz Khan to play the male lead in their upcoming project. The show, which will be co-produced by Saba Mumtaz, is tentatively titled 'Bandhe Ek Dori Se'. It is a story of a 40-year-old man falling in love with a 20-year-old girl.
Informs a source associated with the show, “Sharad Kelkar was also approached for the role, but the possibility was ruled out in the nascent stages. The makers have finally roped in Eijaz as he fits the bill perfectly. Set in Gujarat, Eijaz will be seen as a villager. The actor plans to actually stay in a village in Gujarat to learn the nuances of his character. He is growing his moustache and beard to look the part.”
Eijaz was last seen in Nivedita Basu’s 'Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai' on &TV. Swastik Productions and Saba have co-produced 'Meri Saasu Maa' before this.
