Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi actor Shaheer Sheikh will be seen in a historical love saga with Mahadev actress Sonarika Bhadoria soon. The show titled Salim Anarkali: Dastaan-e-Mohabbat will showcase Shaheer as Salim and Sonarika as his anarkali. The serial goes on floor today after a certain amount of delay.

According to an entertainment website, since the cast has been locked down finally, the makers have finally decided to start the shooting. However, Shaheer and Sonarika will join shoot later as the childhood part of their characters are being shot currently.

A source told the website, "Right now, only the child artists would be shooting for the show. Uzair Basir and Naisha Khanna are playing the young titular characters. Apart from them, Shahbaz Khan, Gurdeep Punj, Aruna Irani, Piyush Sahdev, among others are also a part of the ensemble cast. The show is expected to go on air by August end and will air on Sony TV."

Shaheer in an interview with an entertainment website recently had admitted that he is looking forward to playing a historical character in a show. Incidentally, he had mentioned being smitten watching Dilip Kumarji in Mughal-E-Azam and expressed his desire to play something like that onscreen. Seems like his wish is granted.

Shaheer was last seen in Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi opposite Erica Fernandes. Their chemistry on the show was impeccable making them one of the most loved couples on screen.
