Mumbai, March 28 (IANS): The story of historical TV show "Bharat Ka Veer Putra - Maharana Pratap" will go into fast forward mode in a few months, according to a source. It is likely to be a "big" leap.

"Some fresh faces will be seen making an entry in the show, thereby giving a new twist to the storyline. Also, Rohit Purohit has been approached to play the grown up Maharana Pratap," a source told IANS.

The show, inspired by the life and times of the 16th century Rajput ruler, airs on Sony Entertainment Television. It won six awards at the 13th Indian Television Academy Awards last year.

Mika gifts his watch to Mithun-da

Punjabi singer Mika gifted his expensive watch to veteran actor and Bollywood's disco king Mithun Chakraborty during a recent meeting on the set of a reality show.

Mika appeared on the set of Zee TV's "DID L'iL Masters Season 3", where Mithun is the 'grandmaster'.

A fan of Mithun, Mika grooved to a medley of the actor's popular songs. He was so overwhelmed to meet him and to shake a leg with him that as a token of love, Mika gave his expensive watch to Mithun-da.

Initially, the senior actor was a bit reluctant to accept it but Mika insisted that he has immense respect for him and it was his way of expressing his love for the actor.

"It's been a dream come true to spend time with Dada, dance with him, sing for him … The time I spent on the sets of 'DID L'iL Masters' was absolutely delightful. I know Dada doesn't accept gifts easily but it meant a lot to me to give him something that belonged to me," Mika said in a statement.

Mika also had a great time dancing and singing with the show's contestants.

The special episode will be aired Sunday.
