Vineet Sharma to play mysterious role in 'Ek Tha Raja...'

Actor Vineet Sharma, who will play a mysterious character named Sartaj in TV show "Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani", says he chose the role as he liked the "look and feel" of the character.

Vineet will be seen as a man who holds a secret that can shake the very foundations of the Amerkot royal empire. He sends a stern message to Rajmata (Anita Raj), who at once agrees to step out of the palace and meet him in his village.

"It's a brilliant experience to work on a show of the caliber of 'Ek Tha Raja Ek thi Rani'. It's got a cast of veterans and acting heavyweights from whom there's so much to learn. The best part is that my character is at the very focal point of the drama and the one that presents the twist," Vineet, who has appeared in films like "Mission Kashmir", "Shootout at Wadala" and "Ashoka the Great", said in a statement.

"The best part about my character is the look and feel. The tonality in which the character is being portrayed is something very different and never seen on the small screen. I haven't done something like this in the last 15 years of my career. I am working extremely hard on this role and looking forward to see the character growing," he added.

"Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani", which also stars Siddhant Karnick and Drashti Dhami, is aired on Zee TV.
