Sara Khan to play lead role in Ekta kapoor's DDLJ TV remake

After recent hits like Bade Acche Lagte Hain and Kyaa Hua Tera Vaada, Ekta Kapoor will now remake Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), one of the biggest Bollywood hits directed by Aditya Chopra, into a TV show for Zee.
The serial, tentatively titled Diya Mann will have Sara Khan play the lead role of Raavee, loosely based on Kajol’s character in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.


Though the plot will have an NRI family returning to India, there will be changes in the script of the serial to retain the interest of Television goers. Many shots for the serial will be shot in Punjab. Unlike Kajol in DDLJ, Sara Khan's character apparently will be an adopted child by an NRI family.

Sara Khan, who will play the role of Ravvee in the serial confirmed that she will be doing the Balaji serial. As per a leading newspaper, the serial is expected to go on air in April and is likely to replace Ram Milaayi Jodi (aired at 9:30 PM) or Choti Bahu (aired at 7:30 PM).
