The last time Mohit Raina played a double role as Mahadev and Jalandhar in Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, the serial's ratings soared.
Now after almost a year, producer Nikhil Sinha is recreating another Mahadev in the form of Lohitang.
Says Nikhil, "Whether it was Jalandhar or Lohitang they are all 'Shivansh' born from some part of Shiva - his hair, blood, etc. Lohitang came into being from Shiva's sweat when he performed the Tandav. So he will be a lookalike of Mahadev."
But unlike Jalandhar who was cold-blooded, Lohitang is aggressive and hot-tempered and his body turns red when he is angry. "Lohitang is considered the mentor of Mars and is metallic. We will work on his look accordingly," says Nikhil adding that it will be a huge challenge for the makers and Mohit.
"For the last few months we were looking for some challenging stuff and we found this. Last time we did the double role track, it was fun, and all of us including Mohit enjoyed it. It's also a delight for the audience," he adds.
In the serial, little Lohitang has already been introduced Mahadev has entrusted Andhak to take care of him. However, Andhak poisons his mind against Mahadev and organises a team of asuras to fight him with Lohitang leading them. Chetan Hansraj, Manav Gohil, Vineet Sharma and Ibrar Yakub have been roped in as asuras and the track will begin in a couple of weeks.
