Manish Wadhwa and Bhanu Uday join Aarti and Ganesh in Sony TV’s Encounter

We have already reported about Sony Entertainment Television’s Encounter (Endemol India) portraying the story of Dawood Ibrahim and his underworld Bollywood connect. As we have reported, Aarti Singh will play Mandakini, and Ganesh Yadav will essay the gangster Dawood Ibrahim.

We now hear that actor Manish Wadhwa, presently seen in Star Plus’ Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon will play an important role, in this story. He will essay the right hand of Dawood, named Hegde who will manage the underworld nexus in Mumbai.

Noted actor Bhanu Uday will play the cop Praveen Wagle, who brought down the underworld Bollywood nexus.

When contacted, Manish told us, “I had been approached for Encounter many times before, but for some reasons things could not be worked out. This time, all fell in place. I play the role of Hegde working under the main gangster. The man will not be typically dressed as a gangster. Instead, he will be well-dressed, will have a sophisticated look and will roam around in cars.”

Bhanu who is having a good year with two of his movies releasing in 2014 said, “My movie Machli Jal Ki Rani Hai releases on 13 June. Frankly speaking, I took this role in order to keep myself busy, without thinking much about my movie that is to release (smiles). Having said this, it is a very good role. Praveen Wagle happens to be the cop who fought the underworld Bollywood activities. I am having a good year so far; my other movie Blemished Light will also release this year.”

The shoot for this particular story in Encounter is presently on.
