It
is
no
news
that
Star
Plus'
Naamkaran,
helmed
by
Mahesh
Bhatt
will
soon
witness
a
massive
leap.
The
makers
of
the
show
have
planned
to
go
for
a
leap
to
give
a
fresh
feel
to
the
show.
The
story
is
currently
revolving
around
Avni.
The
role
is
essayed
by
Arsheen
Namdaar.
Avni,
is
one
of
the
most
popular
characters
on
the
show.
Considering
the
popularity
of
the
role,
makers
were
in
hunt
for
the
same.
It
looks
like
search
ended
on
the
pretty
actress,
Shivani
Tomar
whose
last
television
outing
was
Kasam.
Shivani
replaced
Kratika
Sengar
in
the
show,
but
her
chemistry
with
co-star
Sharad
Malhotra
was
not
liked
by
the
audiences.
Unfortunately,
her
stint
in
the
show
came
to
an
end.
Names
of
actresses
such
as
Sonal
Vengurlekar
and
Vrushika
Mehta
were
also
considered
for
the
role,
but
Shivani
has
bagged
the
role.
Not
only
that,
Tashan-E-Ishq
actor
Zain
Imam
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
role
of
Neil.
Zain,
was
last
seen
on
Yeh
Vaada
Raha,
which
went
off-air
recently.
As
per
the
sources,
"The
new
cast
will
begin
shoot
very
soon.
The
channel
and
makers
had
to
go
for
an
extensive
search
to
get
an
apt
actor
to
take
forward
the
lead
role
of
Avni.
And
their
search
has
now
stopped
at
Shivani
Tomar,
who
has
shown
her
acting
prowess
in
her
earlier
shows.
Zain
Imam
has
been
roped
in
for
Neil."
As
we
had
reported
earlier,
Gautam
Vig
will
essay
the
role
of
Ali,
Avni's
best
friend
in
the
show.
Stay
tuned
for
more
updates
of
the
show...
