Darpan Shrivastava and Vibha Chibber join Harshad Chopda in 4 Lions' Films next for Sony TV

After launching the youth-based show for Channel V, O Gujariya – Badlein Chal Duniya, 4 Lions’ Films will now launch a show on Sony TV. Earlier, we had reported about the new show being on Sony’s sister channel, Pal. But this Harshad Chopda starrer will instead air on Sony TV, as per confirmed sources. Well, Tellychakkar.com had earlier exclusively reported about popular actor Harshad Chopda roped in to play the male lead in this love story with a Muslim backdrop. We now hear that new face from Shimla, Shivya will play the girl opposite Harshad. The show will be titled Humsafars, as per reliable sources. Humsafars has already gone on floor, and the promo of the show is expected to break soon. Getting to the other prime cast on the show, talented actor Darpan Shrivastava has been finalized to play a pivotal role. Darpan will also be seen in Zee TV’s latest offering Jamai Raja which launches tonight. In Humsafars, Darpan will essay the father of the female protagonist. Also joining the cast will be seasoned actress Vibha Chibber. Vibha was last seen in Punar Vivah – Ek Nayi Umeed. She will essay the role of Harshad’s mother, the character by name Alvira. A source states, “Darpan Shrivastava’s track will begin from the 6th or 7th episode. His role will be of a positive father to the female protagonist. Vibha will be the main negative on the show; she will be the dignified and well-mannered lady who will have positive instincts to begin with. However, her character is expected to be multi-layered.” Vibha will start shoot very soon, is what we hear. The unit recently had an outdoor shoot in Lucknow, and have begun shoot in Mumbai. We tried calling Producer Gul Khan for a confirmation, but could not get through to her. When contacted, Darpan who has had a good body of work with shows like Bhagyavidhata, Baba Aiso Varr Dhundo, Do Dil Ek Jaan, Hawan said, “Yes, I am doing the new show of Gul. However, I have not started shoot yet. I will be able to talk only after I start my shoot.” Vibha Chibber also confirmed the news stating, “I will play mother to the male lead, Harshad. This is what I can say at the moment.” Watch this space for more on this new show.
