There are so many reports about Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, we can't wait Ekta Kapoor to make an official announcement about the show yet. After speculations about Shaheer Sheikh, Kushal Tandon, Ssharad Malhotra and a couple of other names were taken for the role of Anurag Basu. But turns out, it's someone else altogether. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Parth Samthaan will be playing the role of Anurag Basu opposite Erica Fernandes, who will be playing the role of Prerna in the reboot. A source told the publication that Parth has already been signed and will be shooting for the promo with Erica pretty soon. Erica has already shot for her introductory promo.

The source says, "Parth was finalised on Friday, despite stiff competition from other contenders. While Erica has already shot an announcement video, he will soon join her in another video that will announce them as the leads of the show." Now that ought to put an end to speculations. We can't wait for the promo already. Ekta had given fans a glimpse into how she is going to give Komolika a complete makeover this time. Hina Khan and Madhurima Tuli's names were also taken for Komolika's roles but the two haven't confirmed anything yet.

We wonder how Parth and Erica's onscreen chemistry will be in Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2. Cezanne Khan and Shweta Tiwari played Anurag Basu-Prerna and the audience loved their chemistry. Though fans were pretty excited when news about Erica and Shaheer reuniting for the show did rounds. We loved watching them in Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi. But we are eagerly looking forward to Ekta announcing the cast of Kasautii Zindagii Kay's reboot. It was one of the most watched shows and fans are definitely going to love it.
