A few days ago, television scion Ekta Kapoor confirmed on her Twitter account that she is coming up with a sequel to her popular romantc saga Kasautii Zindagi Kay. Ekta has already signed actress Erica Fernandes to play the main female lead - Prerna, which was earlier played by Shweta tiwari.

A report in indianexpress states that reality show queen Hina Khan is most likely being considered to play antagonist Komolika's part. Talking about this development, a source told the portal, "Hina has mostly been finalised. The financial contract and the final creatives are being locked with her. As for Kushal, the channel has liked his look test and things will be taken ahead with him. Ekta is personally keeping a tab on all the developments, as the show is very important to her. She will announce the final cast mostly by end of the month."

Ekta Kapoor had taken to Twitter to announce that her first choice will mostly be the last and final one for Komolika's character, as she is an iconic antagonist. She had written, "Even though there will b a reboot in her character … it'll b a v difficult casting for this iconic antagonist! So first choice will b hopefully d last choice JAI MATA DI (sic)."

She later added, "So many sources claiming so many actors in this epic characters casting' I habe aproached only one person n she is d ONLY CHOICE (sic)."

Bringing back my most successful love saga that ran for 9 years!!! Again I'll take my broken heart n make it into art!!! #namestobeannounced#waitfortheannouncement (sic)."
