New Delhi : After making an impression through the season nine of the reality show 'Bigg Boss', actress Kishwer Merchantt is back to the fiction genre on television with Ekta Kapoor's next for Zee TV. Titled ' Brahmarakshas', the series is said to be loosely based on Sanjeev Kumar-starrer horror fantasy 'Jaani Dushman' and the Hollywood flick 'Beauty and the Beast'.


Kishwer would be seen playing the antagonist Aparajita, the reason behind the havoc in the male lead's life. Informs a source associated with the show, "Kishwer's character cheats on the male lead and kills him eventually. He resurrects soon after to seek vengeance and for that he transforms into a beast."
Despite repeated attempts, we couldn't reach Kishwer for comment.
The show, which will feature Krystle D’souza as the protagonist, will also mark actress Rakshanda Khan's return to a full-fledged project after a gap of three years. The actress was last seen in 'Bade Achhe Laggte Hai' before going on a maternity break.
