The first teaser of ‘Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2’ is out and it has Erica Fernandes as lead. Erica became a household name with the daily soap ‘Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi’. Now she will be stepping in Prerna’s shoes, which was originally played by Shweta Tiwari. The name of the male lead Anurag Basu is yet to be revealed by the makers. Earlier several names like Mohit Raina, Angad Bedi, Ssharad Malhotra, Shaheer Sheikh and Barun Sobti were suggested to play the male lead in the show. Ekta Kapoor recently wrote something on her Twitter account giving the hint about the male lead of the show. In the teaser, the face of male lead is not revealed.

The old star cast of the show like Shweta Tiwari, Urvashi Dholakia, and Ronit Roy have liked the teaser. Now, let’s hear what Anurag Basu aka Cezanne Khan has to say on it. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he said, “I can never forget the show that gave me everything — popularity and success.”
“I really enjoyed being on the show and playing the role of Anurag Basu on KSK. The show rocked and how. Everything I have today is because of it. KSK was always in the top 10 shows on the rating chart. Though I didn’t get much time to watch the serial myself as I was shooting non-stop, from the 1400-plus episodes, I must have seen some 20 episodes because I was dubbing for the scenes in them. I wish the team all the luck for the reboot,’’ added Cezanne.
When Cezanne was asked about his extinction from Indian television, he replied, “I want to work but I need to find something worth it. I don’t want to take on a show for the sake of it. I want to enjoy the work that I do and once you take up a project, like a daily soap, you end up living on the set. So, it has to be something which gives me satisfaction and fun. For me, money has never played an important role in considering a project but the role and the project. I get offers for reality shows but I am not comfortable doing them. I would rather do a daily soap.”
