Mythological show "Jai Jai Jai Bajrangbali" is entering a new phase, and the central character will now enter teenage. Actor Rishabh Sharma will play the older Bajrangbali.

So far, the role was being played by child actor Raj Bhanushali.

"I am really excited to essay the central character of Bajrangbali. I am Hanumanji's ardent follower and I know almost all his life stories - right from his birth to the brave rescue of Sita from Lanka," Rishabh said in a statement.

The real life teenager is looking forward to work with the show's cast, and is confident of being loved by the audience.

"I am sure of winning love and blessings from all the fans and viewers of 'Jai Jai Jai Bajrangbali' alike as they did for Raj," he added.

The Sahara One show enters its new phase May 27.

Personal touch important, says host Ravi Dubey

TV actor Ravi Dubey, who is replacing Mohit Malhotra as the host of "India's Dancing Superstar", says he will make sure he establishes a personal connect with the contestants, judges and audience as it makes the job of an anchor easier.

"A host is someone who becomes a middle ground between everybody. The entire flow of the show goes through the host. So I am going to focus on interpersonal relationship," the 29-year-old told IANS.

He will co-host the show with Aishwarya Sakhuja, and he believes establishing a personal bond comes in more handy than skills of professional anchoring at such platforms. This will be his first attempt at hosting a reality show, however, he has earlier participated in dance-based reality show "Nach Baliye".

Ravi will be seen on the Star Plus show starting June 1.
