Shaheer Sheikh is all set to play the character of Sushant Singh Rajput as Manav in the show Pavitra Rishta 2. The show will be released on a digital platform. Shaheer admitted that initially, he was not sure about accepting the role as there were expectations attached to it. The actor shared his thoughts about playing the role of Manav, originally played by the late Sushant Singh Rajput.
“A lot of people said to me, ‘Are you sure you want to do this character?’ Because this was the legend character of one such hit show played by Sushant Singh Rajput. People will have high expectations from you. I was anyway not sure whether I should do this show or not and after hearing all such things, I started feeling even more nervous. In fact, the first thought that came to my mind was, ‘I won’t accept people,'” Shaheer told Spotboye.
What then persuaded him to take up the challenge? Shaheer said, “Earlier also I was in a similar situation when Arjun’s character was offered to me in Siddharth Kumar Tiwari’s Mahabharata. And at that time also I thought that I would not be able to do it. Because there are so many expectations from me. because I had to play one of the greatest warriors of India on television.Even at that time I told myself that I can’t give up without trying and when this character of Manav came to me, I felt like I could do it again. I have come to know from that show that ‘trysh wale ki kabhi hai hai’. So, that’s when I decided to say yes and go ahead with this opportunity.”
This is the first time that Shaheer will be working for two shows at the same time. However, the release of Pavitra Rishta 2 will take time. The shooting of the show has started.
Shaheer also shared that though he did not know Sushant personally, he had met him twice. Sushant’s ability to take risks to do something big inspired him.
