"She is likely to appear in the main lead on a fiction show on Sony Entertainment Channel. The show will be produced by Endemol," sources close to the development said.
The actress has been approached for a fiction show and is likely to do it, they said. However, the nature and content of the show is not known.
Endemol India Managing Director Deepak Dhar could not be reached for comments.
Interestingly, Jaya's husband and superstar Amitabh Bachchan too is making his fiction debut on the small screen on the same channel.
Her recent films included Govind Nihlani's 'Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa'(1998), 'Fiza', 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag' to name a few.
