Gungun paired opposite Hiten Tejwani; Sushmita Mukherjee and Rakhi Tandon roped in for Zee &'s Ganga

Zee & (And), the upcoming channel is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2015. And there is quite a lot of buzz on the interesting line-up of shows that are being made. Earlier today, Tellychakkar.com gave our readers exclusive information about Mudit Nayar playing the lead in Shashi-Sumeet’s show for the to-be-launched channel. Now we talk about Sphere Origins’ interesting plot based out in Benaras being made for Zee &. Titled Ganga, the show will be about a small girl named Ganga and her trials and tribulations in life. After their super-success of Balika Vadhu on Colors, a subject on child marriage, Sphere Origins will yet again deal with a sensitive social issue through this venture. While the news is out of popular actor Hiten Tejwani playing a father figure, we come up with the other prominent cast in the show. Talented actress Gungun Uprari, who was last seen essaying the role of Buddha’s mother Prajapathi in Zee TV’s Buddha – Rajaon Ka Raja, will be paired opposite Hiten. Seasoned actress Sushmita Mukherjee has been finalized for a very important role, and Hum Paanch fame Rakhi Tandon will be seen essaying the role of Hiten’s sister. A reliable source states, “The shoot of Ganga has already begun in Benaras. It has a very interestingly woven plot and revolves around children.” We tried contacting Gungun, but she remained busy. Sushmita who is presently seen in Zee TV’s Bandhan said, “Yes, I am doing the show. But I am not supposed to officially talk about it. Please give me few days time.” We happened to get Rakhi Tandon on phone, minutes before she could take off for Thailand. She hurriedly told us, “Well, I don’t think I am officially allowed to speak about the show. I will get back to you after I return from my trip.” We also tried reaching out to Producer Sunjoy Wadhwa, but he remained unavailable for comment. Our efforts to talk to the channel spokesperson for a confirmation remained futile. Watch this space for more exclusive updates.
