Karthika Nair to play female lead in Star Plus’ next; Goldie Behl to direct

Today, fantasy and mytho are the ‘go to content’ in Indian television.

After superhit supernatural shows like Naagin and Brahmarakhsas, viewers would binge watch historical fantasy for the first time.

**clap clap**

As already reported, Star Plus is set to launch a grand scale drama; touted to be one of the biggest series in recent times starring ex Mr India (now popular actor) Rajneish Duggal in the lead.

Based on the clash of the Dravidans and Aryans, the magnum opus has been tentatively titled Aarambh and will be helmed by Rose Audio Visuals.

Now, our newsdesk has learnt the name of the femme fatale who has been paired opposite Rajneish.

**revealing name**

She is Karthika Nair, daughter of acclaimed Malayam actress Radha. The show will mark her debut in the small screen space.

Karthika, already few films old down South, is kicked about the endeavour, as per our sources.

Furthermore, adding gravitas to sobriety is Goldie Behl, who will be the Captain of the ship (read: director). 

FYI, Star Plus had launched Madirakshi Mundle in Siya Ke Ram, another talented artist from down South.

Aarambh, a finite series for about 100 episodes, will launch sometime next year, is what we have been told. 

We dropped a text message to Karthika for confirmation. We are yet to receive any revert.  

Producer Shristi Arya chose not to comment on the developments.
