Ekta Kapoors hunt for the perfect Anurag Basu has finally ended and the buck has stopped at Parth Samthaan. Earlier this year, Ekta announced the reboot of Kasautii Zindagi Kay. Erica Fernandes will play Prerna, while Bigg Boss 11 star Hina Khan will reprise the iconic character of Komolika in the show. With the leads being locked, the show will go on floors soon. It is expected to launch sometime next month.

A source told indianexpress.com, “Ekta and the team had a tough time finding the perfect Anurag. A lot of actors were in contention but the rebooted show required a young face. After numerous look tests and auditions, the team finally zeroed on Parth. The actor was finalised last night and an official announcement will happen soon. While Erica has already shot for the first teaser, a promo with Hina and Parth will also be released soon.”

It is to be noted that a couple of years back, Parth had faced Ektas irk publically. During the Vikas Gupta-Parth controversy, the producer had been forthcoming while taking good friend Vikas stand. And now, since Vikas and Parth have reconciled, Ekta has also welcomed him back in her gang.
