Rashmi Sharma's Sunrise Productions is coming up with a new show on COLORS titled 'Sasuraal Simar Ka'. The show is about a middle class conservative family wherein the aspiration of the lead girl to become a dancer gets restricted.

The first promo of the show is already on air. Deepika Samson who was last seen in Zee TV's Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo plays the female protagonist. Shoaib Ibrahim who essayed the role of Karan in Rashmi Sharma's Rehna Hai Teri Palkon ki Chaaon Mein has been roped in to play the male lead.

Veteran actors Pankaj Dheer and Himani Shivpuri will be seen essaying prominent roles. Abhishek Sharma who has till now been seen in youth oriented shows will for the first time be part of a family drama with this show. He is presently seen in Star One's Geet Hui Sabse Parayi.

Our source states, "Pankaj Dheer plays the girl's father while Himani Shivpuri is her bua. Shoaib and Abhishek Sharma play brothers".

When contacted, Shoaib Ibrahim confirmed the news and said, "Yes, I am playing the lead in Rashmi Sharma's new show for COLORS. This is my second show with the production house".

Pankaj Dheer refused to talk about the concept of the show, "All I can tell you is that I essay the role of a very strict and conservative father".

We could not get thro' to Abhishek.

Sunrise Productions, makers of successful shows like Raja Ki Ayegi Baraat and Saathiya Saath Nibhana have the knack of striking a chord with the viewers with their simple and good story telling.

Sasuraal Simar Ka is expected to launch in the month of April.

We tried contacting Producer Rashmi Sharma, but she remained unavailable.
