Mumbai, Jan 16 (IANS): Actor Jitin Gulati says he is honoured to portray medieval Indian warrior Maharaja Chhatrasal in a show titled "Chhatrasal", the maiden production venture of Abhuday Grover.

Jitin said: "Apart from it being a great opportunity, it is my absolute honour to bring to screen the legend, Maharaja Chhatrasal."

Grover announced the web show here earlier this week in the presence of Jitin and director Anandii Chaturvedi.

I feel blessed to have such an amazing ensemble cast and crew and I am so looking forward for the show to come out this year."

"Chhatrasal" also features Ashutosh Rana as Aurangzeb along with Manish Wadhwa, Manmohan Tiwari, Vaibhavi Shandilya, Anusha Lohar and child actor Rudra Soni in important roles.

Chaturvedi said: "It is an exciting phase for all of us to venture into digital production. Directing something like 'Chhatrasal' is an absolute honour. I am sure that this show will definitely change the dynamics of historical shows on web."

The show is co-directed by Chaturvedi and Bhupesh Sharma. It is produced under the banner of Resonance Digital.
