prithviraj Chauhan 'grows up' on small screen

Vadodara, Oct 25 (UNI) Star Plus will telecast ''Dharti Ka Veer Yodha'' from October 27 with 26-year-old actor Anas Rashid portraying the role of the ''grown-up'' Prithviraj Chauhan.

Rashid replaces 14-year-old actor Rajat Tokas, Mr Moti Sagar said while speaking to reporters at the Sagar Studios on the outskirts of the city here today.

Described as the biggest historical prime time serial on Indian television, ''Dharti Ka Veer Yodha'' will soon see a grown up Prithviraj.

Despite Rajat's huge fan following, the serial needed a change since Prithviraj Chauhan's wedding cannot be enacted by a 14-year-old, Mr Sagar pointed out.
