Harshad Chopra to shed the good boy image with Dharampatni

He was the sweet and innocent Cadet Ali in SAB TV's Left Right Left; he then turned out to be the loyal son, husband and most importantly a loyal lover in Star Plus' popular shows Kis Desh Mein Hain Mera Dil and Tere Liye. With this Harshad Chopra became the iconic characters Prem and Anuraag of television.

But getting out of the stagnant picture that he created, Harshad Chopra is all set to explore the actor in him and has selected one of the most different roles he has ever done.

He is all set to become The Gandhi of Television…

TellyBuzz had already reported about Imagine's next promising show Dharampatni by DJ's Creative Unit based on the life of Mahatma Gandhi. It was also reported that Harshad Chopra and Aasiya Kazi will play the characters of Gandhi and Kasturba.

But the latest we hear is that, though the story is taken from the life of Gandhi, there are changes that will be brought out in the Protagonist of the show.

A source says, "The protagonist of the show is the character of Mohan Galla, a spoilt brat who goes away from home for his studies. But when he returns there will be a behavioral change that he undergoes which will make the character look grey. His ideologies will be different from the others. There will be situations wherein his thought process counters the society, but the character is not completely grey also. Though the show is based on Gandhi, the story will not be completely based on him."

All our efforts to try to reach Harshad Chopra were in vain.

We also hear that the promo of the show will be on air soon.

Here's wishing Harshad all the very best for his new avtar on screen.
