Ekta Kapoor is not the only one who is excited about the Kasautii Zindagii Kay reboot. Reports have confirmed that Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi's Erica Fernandes will be playing the main lead, Prerna, which was played by Shweta Tiwari in the original version. Well, since we have already seen the actress play a Bengali character before, we have a lot of high hopes from the actress. According to reports in TOI, Erica has already started shooting for the promo and the show is scheduled to go on air from August 2018. Talking about the leading man, Anurag Basu, there were reports that suggested Shaheer Sheikh would be playing the role and that Erica-Shaheer will be reuniting for the show after KRPKAB.

But turns out that Mohit Raina and Angad Bedi are in the run to play the main lead in the show. Cezanne Khan had played the role of Anurag Basu in the show and fans loved his chemistry with Shweta. We wonder which one of these leading men in the show. A source told DNA, "Several actors have already given look tests, but Ekta wants somebody who will match the traits of Anurag. The hero has to be a little khadoos, a workaholic and a man who is stuck between two women."

The source adds, "There was talk of Shaheer Sheikh doing the role, but he is not in the reckoning. Ekta has two actors in mind, Angad Bedi and Mohit Raina, but is yet to take a final call. Nonetheless, she will decide soon as the shoot is scheduled to begin in two weeks." Well, no matter who makes it to getting finalised for the show, we do not want either of them to lose their beards.
