KHAANDANGETS A TVSHOW!

Vikas Bahl, who scored a surprise hit with the Kangana Ranaut starrer Queen, is gearing up for a star-studded stint on the small screen. Mirror has learnt that the filmmaker is planning a satire revolving around a 'filmy family' with the protagonist being an aspiring actor. And when it came to casting, he approached the Bollywood's leading Khandaan. Bahl spoke to Sohail Khan about the idea, who has agreed to star in the project, which is set to go on floors in February, 2015. A source close to the development told Mirror: "The show is about an aspiring actor who is trying to make it big in Bollywood, but fails repeatedly.

However, since he belongs to a well-known family from Bollywood, he keeps getting launched and relaunched." The source added that the idea is to take on the film industry's notorious nepotism but with a humorous approach. "The concept is still being developed. But Sohail's real family - Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan and even father Salim are expected to do cameos in the series. They will be seen playing his reel-life family members with 'Bhai' taking care of things if a film of Sohail's character fails," added the source. Bahl is currently busy with the post-production of his Shahid Kapoor-Alia Bhatt starrer Shaandaar, after which he will start working on the show which will mark Sohail's debut on television as an actor. Previously, he has judged a reality show. When contacted, Sohail confirmed the news saying, "Vikas is a dear friend of mine. He asked me if I am cool doing something on TV. I said yes. He's fine-tuning the concept and things will be confirmed by February next year."
