Actor Chetan Hansraj has been roped in to play a reptilian named Mahish in the mythological show "Shaktipeeth Ke Bhairav".

"I believe in experiencing different characters that normally you wouldn't see. I am sure the viewers will be in for some umpteen entertainment with this track line," he added.
