Siraj Mustafa to play an assassin in Sony TV’s Maharana Pratap

Bharat Ka Veer Putra- Maharana Pratap (Contiloe Productions), the popular epic saga on Sony Entertainment Television, is churning out great twists and turns to ensure a heavy dose of drama for its viewers.

Now, here is some exclusive news…

Talented actor Siraj Mustafa has been roped in to play a ruthless assassin Basar Khan who will be hired to kill the young Pratap (Faisal Khan). Siraj was last seen in Life OK’s Hum Ne Li Hai Shapath, and done important roles in Phulwa and Maati Ki Banno.

A source close to the show informs us, “Basar will play a ruthless killer who is a master in disguising himself. His prowess in fighting techniques will be impeccable and he’ll be a really fast horse rider.”

King Uday Singh’s (Shakti Anand) enemy, Shams Khan and Shamsher Khan will kill the spy set upon them. Infuriated over their defeat and having being spied upon, the duo will pledge to kill Pratap and bring down the kingdom. Basar Khan, who has been successful in all his assassinations, will set his evil eye on Pratap this time, the source further adds.

We also hear that soon a pahalwani (wrestling) competition will be held where the Princes and the Kings will show their dexterity in the field.

After recently overcoming a series of tough challenges of getting selected as a disciple of Guru Ragdeva (Ankur Nayyar), the warrior prince (Pratap) will once again be under the cloud of difficulties.

So, how will Pratap manage to conquer over this new challenge?

We could not reach Siraj even after several attempts.
