Shahbaaz 'Bairam' Khan to enter in Neeli Chatri Waale!

The mere mention of the veteran actor Shahbaz Khan's name conjures the image of a powerful antagonist. With his towering personality, deep baritone and intense, brooding eyes, Shahbaz is a formidable villain that most heroes turn pale in front of!

This time, however, the actor is all set to play a positive role on Zee TV's Neeli Chatri Waale. In the light-hearted drama, the actor will don the look of Sabji Wala with a simple dhoti and Kurta, a big departure from anything he's been seen as!

With the recent completion of 100 episodes, the show is all set to bring new impactful stories in the coming episodes. While in this Sunday episode, inspector Jija will be seen purchasing pumpkin from former dacoit-turned-vegetable vendor Mahadev Singh's cart post which he will refuse to pay money for the same. This behavior will make Mahadev to think on teaching Inspector Jija a lesson.  

Shahbaz Khan who is set for his comeback with Mahadev's character says, "I am always on the lookout for challenging roles. Neeli Chatri Waale is a light hearted show and I am playing the role of a former dacoit-turned-honest man Mahadev and has been allotted a quarter and a vegetable cart for making a living. Viewers have always liked me as a villain and hope I will be able to do full justice to this character as playing the role of a Sabji Wala is a first for me. It was really fun to shoot with fine actors like Rajesh Kumar, Himanshu Soni. Working with producer Ashwini Dheer is a privilege of course."

Indeed a pleasure to watch the veteran actor back on television!
