Ulka’s fame delays Kratika’s entry
When
Zee TV approached Contiloe films to produce the historical show 'Jhansi
Ki Rani', industry insiders speculated it to be a disaster as shows of
this genre have never spelt success in the Indian television industry.
But
the popularity of 'Jhansi Ki Rani' debunked this theory and its actors
became popular in a fortnight. In particular, the one who walked away
with all adulation is child wonder Ulka Gupta who is seen essaying the
title role of Manu bai aka 'Jhansi Ki Rani'.
Ulka who plays the
younger Rani Laksmi bai was initially supposed to be on the show for
only 30 episodes and then actor Kratika Sengar, who was shortlisted to
play the older Rani, was to take over. But the success of the show and
Gupta's popularity have delayed Kratika's entry in this Zee show.
Informs
a source, "Initially Kratika Sengar was supposed to enter the show
after 30 episodes but later it was pushed ahead owing to Ulka's
popularity and the overwhelming response to her act and the script of
the show. Later the channel decided to extend Ulka's role till 100
episodes but now we have mutually decided to bring in Kratika after 70
episodes. We will get Manu bai married sometime by mid of December and
Kratika will finally make her way into the show. But if the channel
changes its mind again and asks us to stick to Ulka till the completion
of 100 episodes then Kratika's entry will be further delayed till
February."
