MUMBAI: Ekta Kapoor’s popular supernatural fiction thriller Brahmarakshas will soon return with season two. The new installment will feature a new starcast and is expected to hit the TV screens very soon.

TellyChakkar exclusively broke the news about dashing Pearl V Puri and newbie Nikki Sharma will play leads in the second instalment.

TellyChakkar got in touch with Nikki and asked how she managed to bag the show to which she replied, “Actually, I was in two minds. I wanted to pursue my graduation and I had given an audition for this show though I wasn’t expecting that I will receive a call back as Brahmarakshas is a big show and it will be made on a big level with a big star cast. However, when I received a call saying that I am shortlisted I couldn’t believe it. It’s like a dream come true. I am glad to make my debut with the biggest production house like Balaji Telefilms. Thus, a call from the makers led to a quick change of plans. However, realizing the importance of my education as well, I am now planning on pursuing a part-time course in business administration shooting alongside for the show.

Set against the backdrop of Songadh, the show depicts the journey of an ordinary young girl, Kalindi, whose destiny gets entwined with the evil forces and a drastic quirk of fate has her drawing all her inner strength to combat the evil Brahmarakshas. While the latter garners its strength from kidnapping brides on the day of their wedding and casting a dark spell over the town, Kalindi’s only source of strength is her love for her partner, Angad (played by Pearl V. Puri). As she navigates and manoeuvres her way through the world of evil and her own ordinary life, Kalindi finds herself fighting a tough battle to protect the people she truly cares for!"

Here’s wishing Nikki good luck on her new beginning!
