Not Gurpreet Singh But Vikkas Manaktala to Play The Lead in Star Plus' Namah!

Star Plus’ popular supernatural show Divya Drishti is about to go off air soon. Replacing the show would be Ved Raj’s upcoming mythological show Namah. The big-budget show will revolve around Lord Shiva and will likely be a weekly show. We reported about actor Gurpreet Singh being roped in to play the character of Lord Shiva in the show. The rest of the cast includes actors like Chhavi Pandey, Savi Thakur, Yukti Kapoor and Aman Verma. 

However, the latest we hear is that not Gurpreet Singh but actor Vikkas Manaktala will be seen essaying the character of Lord Shiva in the series. Vikkas, who started his career with Left Right Left, was last seen in Khoob Ladi Mardaani: Jhansi Wali Rani as Gangadhar Rao and has shows like Main Naa Bhoolungi and Ghulaam to his credit. The talented actor has performed a variety of roles and it will be exciting to watch him perform a Lord Shiva. 

Well, this is not the first time that a TV show is made based on chronicles of Lord Shiva. Mohit Raina starrer Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev was based on Lord Shiva and garnered a lot of appreciation.
