Telly actress Sanaya Irani, popular as Khushi Kumari Gupta from Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon and last seen in Chhanchhan, has now been finalised to play the lead in Saurabh Tewari's next on Colors.

Barely a month since her show, Chhanchhan, went off air after running for six months, the actress has already bagged a new show.

According to a source, the show is about a girl who believes in love and how her path crosses with a man, who doesn't believe in it. Says the source, "Sanaya has been in talks with the production house for a long time. She has been now been finalised.

In fact, the production house was keen on casting her as the lead in Life OK's Do Dil Ek Jaan, but things couldn't materialise back then. The production house is now busy casting the male lead. It will be a casting coup of sorts as Sanaya is much in demand despite her last show failed to rake in the ratings."

On the same day, came this article on Newsroom 

Sanskaar to return with a fresh new season and Sanaya Irani's show on Colors TV.


Newsroom is here updating fans on the latest developments of Colors TV bringing shows back to fill in their slots after the 7th season of Big Boss.
The highly promoted show Mrs Pammi Pyarelal will bid adieu in October to get replaced by Sanskaar Darohar Apno Ki Season 2.
The show will supposedly retain the same lead pair and half of the cast will be the same.
Sanaya Irani's new show will launch after Big Boss and supposedly get the 9pm slot if believed.
Get geared for some major news updates in the following days to come.
Sanaya Irani confirmed to us about doing a show with Colors TV.

Sanaya to compete with best friend Drashti

Sanaya to compete with best friend Drashti
Sanaya Irani and DrashtiMore Pics
Sanaya Irani and Drashti Dhami have defied the popular belief that two actresses can never be good friends. The two have been close pals for long and Sanaya was also seen supporting Drashti in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6. 

However, with Sanaya's latest project, she will be pitted against her friend. The actress, last seen inChhanchhan, has been finalised to play the lead in Saurabh Tewari's next on the very channel which airs Drashti's Madhubala " Ek Ishq Ek Junoon.

With their shows airing on the same channel " also produced under the same banner " they will definitely invite comparisons.

Says a source, "The makers had also offered Sanaya the lead role in Do Dil Ek Jaan, but it didn't materialise. It would be interesting to see who performs better in the rating chart. The show is about a girl who believes in love. Her path crosses with a man, who doesn't believe in it."

Sanaya didn't revert to our text message.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sanaya had apparently left by then for her US holiday, so no further news from her end. The trickle of articles speculating about the male lead then started. 

Gurmeet approached to play the lead opposite Sanaya in Nautanki

 Telefilms' next on Colors 

02 Oct 2013 03:32 PM | SrividyaRajesh

Gurmeet Choudhary is surely on a roll, when it comes to getting offered the best of roles on TV. Post his successful stints as leads in Star One's Geet Hui Sabse Parayi and Zee TV's Punar Vivah, the actor is being flooded with interesting offers.
As reported by media earlier, he was approached for the sequel of Gunahon Ka Devta to be produced by the Producer of Lapataganj on SAB TV, Ashwini Dheer. We now hear that the talented actor has been approached by Nautanki Telefilms for their upcoming show on Colors.
As we know, Saurabh Tewari's next on Colors already has the vivacious Sanaya Irani as the lead. And the hunt is presently on for the lead guy, who will play a BSF officer. Amongst lot many known faces approached for the show, Gurmeet happens to be one. We hear that the makers were keen on casting him as the lead opposite Sanaya.
A reliable source states that Gurmeet has been in consideration for a while. However, he usually quotes an exorbitant amount, as the man is keener on doing films now.
Yet another source though told us that Gurmeet was indeed approached for the new show on Colors, but he did not fit well into the role.
If sources are to be believed, Ashish Sharma, last seen in Zee TV's Rab Se Sohna Isshq is also in talks presently for the lead role.
The yet untitled show will launch on Colors post the culmination of Bigg Boss sometime in December 2013, and will take the 9.30 PM slot.
We tried contacting Gurmeet, but he did not reply to our calls and text messages till the time of filing the article.
Let's see who bags the role opposite Sanaya in this Colors show.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One more Newsroom article ... there were supposed to be two parts to this interview, but the second part was pulled abruptly. The channel and PH are keeping the show tightly under wraps for now. 


Prashant Bhatt divulges details about Sanaya Irani's new show and Madhubala being promoted well by the channel

And the next show for the 9pm slot on Colors TV?

Nautanki Telefilms, the makers of Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, are coming up with a new show on Colors starring Sanaya Irani and this news has been hogging the limelight ever since it broke out. 

And here we bring to you another update on the show. Reliable sources close to the show inform us that Chandragupta Maurya fame actorAshish Sharma has been locked to play the hero opposite Sanaya.

Certain sections of the media had recently reported about Gurmeet Choudhary and Ashish Sharma being approached to play the lead. However the latest buzz says that Ashish has bagged the project.

When contacted, Ashish Sharma said, "I've been approached for the show but talks are still on and nothing has been confirmed yet."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A rubbishy article on Telly Buzz, while it gave the name of the new show for the first time, TB obviously had no clue about the male leads in the running. TB didn't even confirm Sanaya Irani was the FL ... one of the stupidest articles from TB in a long while! 

Rang Rasiya- title of Saurabh Tiwari's new show on Colors.


Saurabh Tiwari's Nautanki Films who are at presently producing Madhubala - Ek Ishq, Ek Junoon on Colors and Do Dil Ek Jaanon Life Ok is all set to present a new and entertaining show on Colors

The show will be an intense love story which tells the tale of a girl in love with a boy who denies the relationship. How they gradually come together is the crux of the story. While it has earlier been reported that Sanaya Irani has been approached for the show, nothing has been confirmed as yet. 

However, as per our source the name of the show has been finalized, "The show is named as Rang Rasiya and will be visually very appealing. It is supposed to get the prime time slot and may go on air sometime in December after Bigg Boss Saath 7 gets over." The title seems to be inspired by Ketan Mehta's film based on the legendary painter Raja Ravi Verma. Going by the title the show does promise to bring additional color and add multicolored hues to the storyline of a couple. 

While Sanaya's last outing in Chhanchhan was a short one she has a huge fan following. Her fans want to see her with Barun Sobti, Sanaya's co-star from Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? which is highly impossible since Barun is busy shooting for his upcoming films. The other possibility of a male lead is said to be Mohit Sehgal who is her real life beau and was seen with her earlier in Miley Jab Hum Tum. All their fans are keen on seeing the real life couple back together on screen.

Keep reading TellyBuzz for more updates on the show.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Telly Chakkar went one better and brought in a completely new guy who wasn't in the running at all. The idiocy and dumbness of the online TV sites seems to be increasing every day. 

Producer Saurabh Tewari's next for Colors, post the success of Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon will be a Rajasthani love story to be shot on a grand scale. Tentatively titled Rang Rasiya, the show will have popular name Sanaya Irani as the lead.
The hunt for the guy to play Sanaya's love interest is yet on, though few known names have been in the reckoning for some time now.
Tellychakkar.com was the first to report Ashish Sharma being in talks for the lead role.
We now hear that the toss up now is between Ashish and Nikkhil Chaddha, who is presently seen in Zee TV'sSapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke.
A reliable source tells us that Ashish and Nikhhil are presently into final talks for the role. And in 2-3 days, the actor will be finalized and locked.
We tried contacting both Ashish and Nikhhil, but they remained unavailable for comment.
Our efforts to get in touch with Producer Saurabh Tewari proved futile.
Let's see which actor gets to play the guy opposite Sanaya.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Newsroom seems to be the most authentic site of the lot ... at least the news it gives isn't mere speculation without any basis in fact. Rang Rasiya is starting to sound more and more promising, Colors and Nautanki seem to be investing a lot of time, money and effort into the show. 

Rang Rasiya new show starring Sanaya Irani : Report




Newsroom recently informed readers about Sanaya Irani being confirmed as the female lead of Colors TV new show titled Rang Rasiya to be aired at the 9:30pm slot which is currently accommodated by Big Boss.
The show will have a authentic flavor and the ingredient in the initial days of all romantic shows which is separation. According to a source from Nautanki Telefilms,this project was planned long time back but Saurabh Tiwari needed popular faces as this project has a lot of investment (including Colors TV) which is double than the production cost of the other shows made by the same production house which are Madhubala and Do Dil Ek Jaan.
The male lead of the show will be Ashish Sharma if everything goes well but things for the male lead are at tentative stage as even Mohit Saighal can be considered. Newsroom will keep Sanaya Irani fans updated about the latest happenings.
Well it isn't the end of news as the show have some highly romantic scenes inspired from the Bollywood film Rang Rasiya which had some intense bold scenes which will be minimized looking at the time slot of the show.The title says it all which means the show is all about the Passion Of Romance.'

Barkha Bisht, the third important angle in Saurabh Tewari's Rang Rasiya for Colors?

29 min ago | Tellychakkar (29th Oct 2013)

Rang Rasiya, the upcoming show of Saurabh Tewari's Nautanki Telefilms for Colors is already star-studded with Sanaya Irani and Ashish Sharma in lead roles.
The news doing rounds now is that Barkha Bisht Sengupta, who returned to television after a hiatus with Sony Entertainment Television's Parvarrish when she replaced a pregnant Rupali Ganguly as Pinky, is presently in talks for a pivotal role in Rang Rasiya.
A reliable source tells us that Barkha will most likely play the third angle in Rang Rasiya. The lady will don a negative character for the grand Rajasthan backdrop show.
We tried our level best to get in touch with Barkha, but we could not reach her.
Our efforts to get a confirmation from Producer Saurabh Tewari were in vain.
Barkha has earlier been part of noted shows like Pyaar Ke Do Naam: Ek Radha Ek Shyam, Kkavyanjali, Doli Saja Ke, Sajan Ghar Jaana Hai. She will also be seen in the upcoming movie Ram-Leela.
Let's hope we get to see Barkha in this challenging negative avatar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And finally Sanaya is back in town and we get confirmation about the show from the producer ... followed by the SBS where she confirmed it herself.

    1. Hi Anita, good to see you back! Great news about Sanaya's new show, isn't it ... despite the failure of Chhanchhan, her work and her talent has been recognised finally. Apparently Saurabh Tewary of Nautanki was waiting for her for this project, it's his dream project, and he had offered it to her way back in January this year after IPK ended. She didn't take it then, now she has taken it. A huge compliment for Sanaya and a testament to her standing in the industry today, that she was always the only person in the running for this show, and he actually waited for her.

      Hopefully the show will take off well and we will all have something good to discuss again! In the meanwhile it's good to see that the recognition that eluded Sanaya during IPK because of the hysteria over BS, is now finally coming her way ... she deserves every bit of it.

    3. Yes, Anita, hope Ashish is good ... he is actually well known as Chandragupta Maurya, and he did a very good job there apparently ... but a love story is different from a historical ... so let's hope for the best. Sanaya deserves all the success that comes her way and more ... she is talented and very hard working, let's hope this show really does well for her, and for the entire team.

  2. One more article ... about the supporting cast this time ... again, not confirmed yet.

    Surabhi Prabhu in Nautanki Telefilms upcoming on Colors?

    Surabhi Prabhu a supermodel turned south Indian actress, who has done many national campaigns and international brands, will soon be seen on TV.
    Surabhi Prabhu who is currently busy doing films and songs in south, has been approached to play an important role in Nautanki Telefilms upcoming on Colors TV.
    The actress who was earlier seen in Sony TV's CID, opposite Aamir Khan, while he was promoting his movie Talaash, has done a few special main lead episodic shows on request.
    When called Surabhi Prabhu, she told "Nothing is confirmed yet, I might do the show. I am still not sure if I will do TV, as I can't commit anything till my prior commitments are taken care of first".
    We hear that Surabhi's role will be a strong role with many shades. She will be seen helping the main lead in the show. The show also feature Sanaya Irani and Ashish Sharma.

  3. Hello Diya,

    Hope your Diwali weekend was wonderful and thank you for compiling all Sanaya related news in one place.

    So, glad that the clouds are clearing and we finally have confirmation about the show, it's name and the leads. Now, we can finally put all the jodi fans and fan wars behind us and look forward to something new and exciting.

    Sanaya looked positively excited and happy about the show and the people she is working with, hope the team effort yields rich dividends. I have to admit that I am more excited about this show then I ever felt for Chhanchhan. So keeping my fingers crossed.

    The promo shoot has begun and Ashish's tweet gives a feel of an intense and passionate love story. Waiting for SBS/SBB segments, promos and finally the show. Hope this will be a successful and enjoyable endeavour for Sanaya and the audience.

    1. Hi Uma,

      I've been lazy to update here because of my move ... for IPK and Chhanchhan, I posted every article as it came out. Finally managed to update all the relevant articles for Rang Rasiya in one place. And we finally have a name for the show :)

      I'm getting more and more excited too ... the show is sounding good, and the fact that they are keeping a tight lid on all news and taking their time to bring it out, makes it sound even better. Thankfully they are learning from the mistakes that Sony and Optimystix made with Chhanchhan.

      Sanaya too sounds excited and happy about the show ... she is very serious about her work, and the fact that she finds the team strong and very creative, and is looking forward to working with them, sounds very positive.

      I'll post Ashish's tweet too ... it was rather poetic ... he seems like a guy who is very serious about his work as well, and dedicated to the medium of TV, again sounds good, much better than BS, who seemed to think TV was just a stepping stone to something bigger and better, and never gave it or IPK the respect it deserved. I think Ashish will be equally serious about this project as Sanaya, he was critically acclaimed as an actor in Chandragupt Maurya, so that already puts him ahead of the game.

      Hoping for the best and keeping fingers crossed that this show is Sanaya's biggest one yet, and she gains all the awards and recognition that she deserved for Khushi but never got ... and even more. Hope her character is well written and very strong ... I'm not too impressed with Madhubala's character, so I really hope Sanaya's character in RR is better written. If Saurabh Tewary was waiting for her for almost a year, I hope he and his writers do her justice ... along with all the other characters and the full story as well. If the show is well written, it will do well, and so will all those associated with it ... so let's hope and pray that happens and Sanaya and the entire team get all the success and plaudits for Rang Rasiya.

  4. Diya Amen for all that you wished for Sanaya and her new show!!! I'm not only looking forward to the show, but also the active discussions that'll start here too:) Take care all:)

    Tarun Khanna to play the anti-lead in Colors' Rang Rasiya
    5 min ago | TellychakkarTeam
    Saurabh Tewari's upcoming show on Colors, Rang Rasiya is slated to be the next big fiction launch on Colors. After roping in Ashish Sharma and Sanaya Irani as leads, the hunt is on for experienced faces to play pivotal roles. As reported by us, talented actress Barkha Bisht is also mostly finalized to play the third angle in the show.
    The latest to join the show with the grand Rajasthani backdrop of Nautanki Telefilms happens to be Tarun Khanna. The versatile actor who has so far done challenging roles on television has been roped in to play the anti-lead on the show. Tarun was last seen giving a powerful performance in Life OK's Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev as Raavan.
    A reliable source tells us that Tarun will be playing an interesting and strong character in Rang Rasiya. His role will be that of a landlord who has all the powers, and people look up to him for help. His antagonist role in the show has all the meat required to catch the audiences' attraction, conveys our source.
    When contacted, Tarun told Tellychakkar.com, "Well, I have earlier worked with BAG Films for Ganga and had a very nice experience. I wish to work with them again. But as far as this show goes, I have not got any intimation whatsoever. So I am clueless about whether I am finalized or not."
    We tried contacting Producer Saurabh Tewari, but he remained unavailable for comments.
    Rang Rasiya will air post the completion of Bigg Boss season 7.

    After 'Chhanchhan', Sanaya Irani has been roped in to play a young Rajasthani bride in Colors’ upcoming show, 'Rang Rasiya'. 'Rang Rasiya', produced by Saurabh Tewari, will be broadcast in the same slot as Bigg Boss, once the reality show’s current season ends.

The crew has been shooting in the harsh terrain and climate of the Rann of Kutch as the story is set along the border of India.

    Will Sanaya be able to match the success of 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon' with 'Rang Rasiya'? Watch this space.
