After much speculation regarding the casting of the male lead for Prateek Sharma’s upcoming show *Tum Se Tum Tak*, the role will be played by Sharad Kelkar. The casting process included notable names such as Karan Singh Grover, Ashish Chowdhry, and Sharad Malhotra, but ultimately, Sharad was chosen as the perfect fit. The show will feature Niharika Chouksey as the female lead and will explore a May-December romance.
A source close to the production shared, “We considered Karan Singh Grover and others seriously, but ultimately, Sharad Kelkar’s experience, versatility, and mature appeal made him the standout choice. His ability to portray complex characters across various genres solidifies him as an ideal candidate for this unique role. We are excited about his performance and anticipate that the chemistry between him and Niharika will resonate with the audience. The shooting for *Tum Se Tum Tak* will begin shortly, with the show expected to premiere around the IPL season.”
Despite several attempts, Sharad was unavailable for comment.
This project marks Sharad Kelkar’s much-anticipated return to television after an eight-year hiatus since his last fictional role in *Koi Laut Ke Aaya Hai*. He became a household name for his portrayal of Nahar Singh in *Saat Phere – Saloni Ka Safar* (2005) and has been part of various successful shows, including *Bairi Piya*, *Sarvaggun Sampanna*, *Uttaran*, *Kuch Toh Log Kahenge*, and *Agent Raghav*. His diverse roles in both television and film highlight his acting talent, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the small screen. Niharika has previously appeared in shows like *Yeh Hai Mohabbatein*, *Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai*, and *Faltu*.
