“If Squid Game gets an Indian remake, I’m surely going to be a part of it,” says TV star Leenesh Mattoo
Leenesh Mattoo became a household name with the huge success of his show Ishqbaaaz, which aired from 27 June, 2016 to 15 March, 2019, on Star Plus. The runaway success of 4 Lion Films’ show created more opportunities for the actor who later went on to portray a prominent part in ZEE TV’s supernatural series Brahmarakshas 2.
Mattoo next will be seen in ZEE TV’s latest offering Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na. The show stars Anjali Tatrari and Avinesh Rekhi as the lead pair. The Ishqbaaaz actor plays the character of Rekhi’s brother in the show.
When asked to reveal more about his character, the actor told a publication, “Well, I cannot disclose much about my character as it is going to be a surprise for viewers. The only thing I could tell is I am playing Devraj aka Avinesh’s brother in the show. Well, there is a lot to be said about my character but I am waiting for it to unveil first.”
Mattoo said that he is keen to explore the web space. He said that if ever made, he would like to star in the Indian remake of the globally successful South Korean streaming show Squid Game (2021) on Netflix.
“I would really love to explore the OTT platforms. If Squid Game gets an Indian remake, I am surely going to be a part of it. The character that I would love to do in the show would be Lee Jung Jae's. Apart from that, the character I was waiting to do will finally get unveiled with Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na, that's how it is a surprise for the viewers,” he signed off.
Made under the banner of Dome Entertainment Private Limited, Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na is telecast from Monday to Friday at 10 pm on Zee TV.
