A
few
days
ago,
reports
were
stating
that
Raqesh
Bapat
would
be
a
part
of
Rajan
Shahi's
upcoming
project,
featuring
Shaheer
Sheikh
and
Kinshuk
Vaidya
in
pivotal
roles.
However,
the
latest
report
published
in
ETimes
TV
suggests
that
the
Bigg
Boss
OTT
contestant
is
no
longer
a
part
of
the
project.
Anupamaa
producer
Rajan
Shahi
himself
confirmed
about
his
exit
in
a
statement
shared
with
the
media.
He
stated
that
they
have
parted
ways
amicably,
and
he
is
looking
forward
to
working
with
Raqesh
in
future.
Rajan
also
mentioned
that
he
tried
too
hard
to
have
him
on
board
for
the
upcoming
show,
but
unfortunately
it
was
not
feasible
for
him.
While
citing
the
reason
behind
Raqesh
Bapat's
exit,
Rajan
Shahi
said,
"It
was
a
mutual
decision
taken
together.
Raqesh
is
a
good
friend
and
a
great
human
being.
However,
due
to
some
time
and
date
issues,
things
couldn't
work
out
and
we
mutually
decided
not
to
work
on
the
show
together."
Interestingly,
ETimes
TV
learnt
that
the
makers
have
finalised
Anuj
Sachdeva
for
the
role.
Yes,
you
read
that
right!
Anuj
Sachdeva,
who
replaced
Raqesh
Bapat,
will
be
playing
Shaheer
Sheikh
and
Kinshuk
Vaidya's
elder
brother.
The
report
also
suggests
that
the
upcoming
Rajan
Shahi
show
is
loosely
inspired
by
Anil
Kapoor,
Fardeen
Khan
and
Abhishek
Bachchan-starrer
Om
Jai
Jagadish.
The
shoot
of
the
same
is
expected
to
start
from
February
9,
2022.
Talking
about
Anuj
Sachdeva,
he
has
acted
in
several
shows
like
Sabki
Laadli
Bebo,
Swaragini
and
so
on.
He
had
also
featured
in
Nach
Baliye
9
with
his
ex-girlfriend
Urvashi
Dholakia.
