Mukesh Chhabra did not reveal the name of the actor finalized for the role of Laxman, however he has hinted that the actor finalized for this role is a television actor. Mukesh Chhabra has said without naming anyone, even now when I think about it, I feel that no one could have been a better Laxman than him. I am very happy that all the people who were approached earlier, refused. Two-three people refused, so I thought it was good.
