Sources suggest that the show is set to be a love story set in Punjab and the actor will play the hero. The casting for the female lead is still in progress and it is said that a fresh girl will be cast.

The interesting trivia about this is that Ahluwalia, while definitely will play the male lead in Yash Patnaik’s upcoming show but there is no real clarity as to whether or not he will continue to be a part of Kumkum Bhagya or not – and even if he does, in what capacity will it be.
