Star Plus’ popular show Imlie is in for a major change. According to reports, actor Gashmeer Mahajani has exited the hit show and the makers have now roped in actor Manasvi Vashist as his replacement. Yes, you read it absolutely right! Manasvi Vashist is set to play Aditya Singh Rathore on Imlie.
Before finalising Vashist to play the male lead, the makers had reportedly approached several other actors also. But their search finally came to an end with Vashist who is now set to step into the shoes of Gashmeer Mahajani.
If you are curious to know what led Mahajani to opt out of the show, here is what a source in the know has to say, “It was quite clear from the first day of the shoot that Gashmeer will continue to shoot for his Marathi films and for web alongside Imlie, to which the makers had agreed. But as the story progressed and the show started doing well, Gashmeer was not able to take up other projects. He reportedly gave only 10 days in a month to the makers to shoot his sequence which was not enough. After a lot of discussions, Gashmeer finally quit the show. His last day will be in mid-January.”
Imlie, produced by 4 Lions Films, has been a TRP topper on Star Plus. Manasvi Vashist will be joining Sumbul Touqeer and Mayuri Deshmukh on the cast of the show.
