Sumit Vyas who essayed the innocent and straight forward Karthik in Rehna Hai Teri Palkon ki Chaaon Mein will soon be back on Imagine in a contrasting avatar. The latest is that the actor has been finalized to play the negative lead, Ambeek in Chandragupta Maurya, produced by Sagar Arts and 72 Degrees Northe.

Our source states, "The grown-up Ambeek will be introduced in the coming weeks, and Sumit will essay the role. Ambeek has grown into a very handsome guy, and continues to have typical negative shades as seen in childhood".

We hear that shoot with Ambeek was to begin in the second week of August. But there has been a delay as the focus is now on Alexander and Salucus track.

When contacted, Sumit told TellyBuzz, "It is true that I have consented verbally to playing the role. However, I have not heard again from them".

If sources are to be believed, Mr. B.M. Vyas who is the Writer of the show happens to be Sumit Vyas' father.

Here's wishing Sumit a great second innings with Imagine..
