EXCLUSIVE! Ekta Kapoor to reboot Kahiin Toh Hoga, South actress Hebah Patel to play the lead?

After the super success of Kasautii Zindagii Kay's reboot, TV doyenne Ekta Kapoor is all set to bring back yet another popular show from her 'K' series. BollywoodLife has heard that Kapoor's upcoming digital series on her streaming platform is supposed to be a reboot of her popular TV series Kahiin Toh Hoga. Tentatively titled Kahiin Toh Hoga United, the series will have the basic feel of the original TV series intact. Although it's not sure if the show is a direct reboot but the title suggests so.

"Just like the original TV series, which revolved around two primary characters (Kashish and Sujal) and their ego tussle amidst their love story, the plot of the digital series will be quite similar to the original one. However, the characters will be different," a little birdie close to the development revealed.

As per the information that we have gathered, the show revolves around two Muslim families who will be business partners. Their heirs Sufiyaan and Imtiyaaz would be great comrades. However, with a girl named Kaynaat's involvement, their lives will witness a major hoo-ha. "The plot primarily revolves around the love triangle between Imtiyaaz, Sufiyaan and Kaynaat."

While the casting process is currently underway, our reliable source reveals that Kapoor has found her leading lady. Popular South Indian actress Hebah Patel, who has primarily been a known name in the Telugu film industry "has been locked" to play the central protagonist Kaynaat. Patel, who was last seen in 2018's 24 Kisses, will make her Hindi debut with the show.

"The makers wanted a non-quintessential face and Hebah seemed perfect for the character. The hunt for the other two characters is still on." Hebah was strongly rumoured to participate in the Telugu version of Bigg Boss for their recently aired season. However, she did not enter the house, maybe due to this project?

Furthermore, as per our information, the 40-episodic series will be directed by Muzammil Desai, who is currently directing the Kasautii Zindagii Kay reboot. "The team will go on floors from the month of August for a start to wrap schedule which will last for four months."

We dropped a text to Ekta, Hebah and Muzammil, but none of them reverted untill the time of publishing this article. Are you excited to see the reboot of the show? Stay tuned to BollywoodLife for more updates.
