While Talking to Zoom Digital about the star cast, casting director Adityoa Suranna said, “Pavitra Rishta 2.0 is completely digital. To be honest, it is a challenge for everybody. The task is not only for me but also for the actors who have been locked. If we have seen something already, we have already set a benchmark. If this was a new show, whatever we would do, would be fresh for people. But already, hum sabke paas ek benchmark hai (all of us have a benchmark).” Also Read– Asha Negi On Break Up With Rithvik Dhanjani: ‘It has been more than a year now, we all should move on’
“It is not only for me but for the actors, directors and for everyone. There are two people (from the old cast), Ankita Lokhande is playing Archana’s part, Usha ma’am is playing her part. We have already seen them and have loved them. But for the rest of the actors, they have a challenge. Especially for Manav, for Shaheer Sheikh it is a big challenge to live up to that space. But at the same time, it is a challenge for directors, me and other actors as well.”
It was also earlier reported that the Ankita Lokhande starrer Pavitra Rishta 2 will release on ALT Balaji. it would be a tribute by Ekta and Ankita to Sushant’s legacy.
