Colors' unique show Mukti Bandhan, produced by Shobhna Desai Creations has a great ensemble of actors when it comes to performance. Now joining the cast is another versatile and talented actor Rahil Azam.

We hear that Rahil will now essay the role of Jimmy, which was earlier played by Sumit Vats. Rahil will now go on to play the love interest of Nirali (Hunar Halli).

A little birdie tells us, "Sumit had severe health problems and had to be hospitalized in Delhi. The production house was put in a dilemma when they heard that Sumit cannot resume shoot for the next 20 days or so. Hence they were forced to go in for a replacement. Rahil Azam has started shoot and his entry will be aired in tonight's episode".

We tried contacting Rahil but he remained unavailable. Rahil was last seen playing the role of Vasant in Star Plus' Gulaal.

With an actor of the caliber of Rahil playing the role, we are sure the track ahead will have an interesting twist..
