Rajan Shahi's Director's Kut, makers of successful shows like Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai and Ye Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai are now ready with their next big project on Star, this time for the revamped Star One, which is to be named Star Desh. The show tentatively titled 'Amrit Dhara' is said to be the sequel of Bidaai, the story line of which will again revolve around two sisters. However, the entire story line and cast will be different.

And for the first time, Director's Kut, (which has offered the industry new finds like Sara Khan, Parul Chauhan, Hina Khan, Neha Sargam) has gone in for a known face to play one of the female leads.

We hear that Adaaa Khan who essayed Akashi in Star Plus' Behenein has been roped in as lead of the show. The other lead however, is a new face to television. We also hear that Waseem Mushtaq, who was last seen in Colors' Bhagyavidhaata will play the male lead, opposite Adaaa. He will portray the role of an army officer.

We contacted Adaaa Khan, and she told us, "I have been offered many shows, but nothing is confirmed at the moment".

We called Waseem, who confirmed the news but refused to divulge information.

Our efforts to reach Producer Rajan Shahi were futile.

Watch this space for more on the show..
