Actor Sharad Kelkar, who has starred in several serials and has been missing from television, is all set to make his comeback after eight long years with Tum Se Tum Tak. Initially, the role was slated for Karan Singh Grover, but the makers have now decided to proceed with Sharad, who will star alongside Niharika Chouksey.

According to ETimes, a source close to the show revealed that they were 'seriously' considering Karan Singh Grover, but after much thought, they found Sharad to be the perfect fit for the role.

"His experience, versatility, and mature appeal made him stand out. Moreover, his portrayal of complex characters in various genres has made him a strong contender for such a unique role. We are excited about his portrayal and expect the chemistry between him and Niharika to be loved by the audience," added the source.

While an official confirmation is awaited, reportedly, the show will commence soon and it is expected to air around the IPL season.
