The popular tv show Chikoo Ki Mummy Durr Kei is all set to take a 10-year leap. Post the leap the audience will witness Chikoo grow up into a young confident girl. Model Simran Tomar has been roped in to essay the role of grown-up Chikoo in the show.
While Simran is finalized for the female lead, actor Sai Ketan Rao, who was last seen in the show Mehndi Hai Rachne Waali, is being considered to essay the male lead.
According to a source, “Simran is a successful model and actress. She has worked in several films in Bollywood, Kollywood, and Tollywood. She has also delivered international modeling assignments for reputed brands.”
The show was earlier slated to wrap up in December 2021 because of low TRP ratings. It has recently got an extension for the leap track and now it is confirmed that the show will take a leap.
Actors Paridhi Sharma and Himanshu Malhotra will bid farewell to the show to pave way for the story to unfold.
In a recent interaction with media, producer Nilanjana Purkayasstha confirmed the news and shared, “It is already revealed how Chikoo (Vaishnavi Prajapat) is Nupur’s (Paridhi Sharma) daughter and the mother knows about it. Now, there is no point dragging this track endlessly. After the revelation, we had to look at a new twist. It is important to explore the story of an older and grown-up Chikoo, who lives without her parents now.”
He added, “The show is taking a ten-year leap, which will see Chikoo in college now. The track will focus on how she wants to become a dancer and achieve her dreams and goals. The leap will happen around Valentine’s Day. There will be a new love angle in the show and new leads, who are yet to be finalized.”
