According to reports, the show’s producer Ved Raj decided to replace lead actor Vikkas Manaktala with Tarun Khanna to play the role of Shiva. The show earlier highlighted the bond and friendship between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. However, now, it will be based on Vishnu Puran. Moreover, the title has been changed to Namah — Lakshmi Narayan.
Now, we have heard that the makers have roped in TV actors Anwar Khan, who has featured in shows like Singhasan Battisi and Udann, and Deepak Dutta, who is known for his stint in Anamika and is currently seen in Paramavatar Shri Krishna.
According to sources, post the changes, the story will be on Dashavatar, where Anwar will depict the role of Adi Shankaracharya and Deepak will play the character of Manu, the first person to be born on earth.
The above is a statement issued by TellyChakkar, which gives us an insight into what the future of Namah holds. For me, it has created a few questions.
Adi Shankaracharya was a veneered sage off the 8th century, his significant role being that off tieing all the ends of Puranas and Vedas into one comprehensive work. So my guess is that he is going to play the part of the narrator rather than Brahma.
Seeing as they are adopting the Dashavatar having Manu is crucial as he is the one that leads the change that makes the first Matsya Avatar possible. But we have already seen the second Kurma Avatar in Samudra Manthan so are we going to see the past? or is Namah: Lakshmi Narayan going to be whole new show entirely which disregards the happening of the current track?
Hopefully, the show is not just limited to Dashavtar, I am waiting to see Lakshmi's role as Bhargavi, daughter of sage Bhirgu and sister to Asur Guru Bhargav Shukracharya. The whole new aspect and layer her role adds to Dev-Asur Sangram as the daughter of demons and mother of gods is something that I have wanted to see portrayed on Television for a long time.
