Sargun Mehta to play grown-up Phulwa

Actress Sargun Mehta has been roped in to replace child star Jannat Zubair Rahmani as the protagonist in Colors' show Phulwa.

The show is set to take a 10-year-leap and Sargun will play the older Phulwa, who turns into a female dacoit.

"I am very excited about this role. It is my privilege that I've been chosen to play a grown-up Phulwa. The role has a lot of potential," said the actress who was last seen in Zee TV's Apno Ke Liye Geeta Ka Dharamyudh.

"It's not every day that one gets to play a female dacoit who has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations and has now chosen to blaze her own trail in a manner she thinks fit. It is a very strong character and I hope I'm able to do justice to it,' she added.
