Nakusha's guy - Toss-up between Mishal Raheja and Rohit Bakshi?

The search for the guy opposite Nakusha (Mahi Vij) in COLORS' new show Laagi Tujhse Lagan, produced by Playtime Creations has been on for quite a while now!!

Earlier, the creative team had penned the lead guy's character to be of a strong, ugly looking guy, with a good physique. However, the production house and channel could not zero in on such a guy with a combination of good physique, and a bad look. So they were forced to revise their idea, and decided to go with a decent looking personality with a good body.

As per our source, "Lot many known actors and new faces have auditioned for the role till now. However, there is no final decision that has been arrived at. But it looks as though the channel and production house have zeroed in on two options and will choose one in the next few days".

Mishal Raheja, who was last seen in SAB TV's Love Story holds a good chance of bagging the lead role. Along with him, Rohit Bakshi who was last seen in Sony's Chittod Ki Rani Padmini Ka Johur also holds an equally good chance.

According to our source, "Mishal and Rohit happen to be the best choices available for the role. Now it is up to the channel and production house to choose their lead".

When called, Mishal Raheja told us, "Yes, I have auditioned for the show. But I have not got any intimation after that".

Rohit Bakshi on his part said, "I have auditioned for the role some one month back. I don't know what is happening there".

We tried calling Producer Hemal Thakkar, but he remained unavailable.

As per our source, there is still time for the entry of the male lead. His entry will be shown only after the initial 25+ episodes.

Now let's see who gets to play the prized role..
