Colors' upcoming fictional drama, 'Gathbandhan' explores the extraordinary love story of a gangster, Raghu, essayed by Abrar Qazi, falling in love with an aspiring IPS officer Dhanak, played by Shruti Sharma.


Raghu is a huge Bollywood fan with absolutely no ambition in life. A mumma’s boy at heart, his biggest strength, as well as his weakness, is his mother which is why he chooses to take a similar business path of collecting extortion money from the real estate builders. In real life, Abrar Qazi, who is opposite in nature to his onscreen character of Raghu is taking special efforts to get into the skin of his character. He has been watching the film Vaastav to take the inspiration from Sanjay Dutt's role in it. He has been observing every minute detail of Raghu's character from the movie to get the nuances right.

Commenting on the role Abrar said, "When I was offered this role, it came with a challenge where the character of Raghu is absolutely different from my real life personality. During the narrations, I could only relate the character to Sanjay Dutt's role in Vaastav and this came as joy for me as I am his very big fan. This role gave me a chance to repeatedly watch the movie and polish my character of Raghu in Gathbandhan. I am very lucky that in my debut show I am sharing the same screen name of 'Raghu' with my idol Sanjay Dutt."

Produced by Jay Mehtaa productions, the show is slated to go on air from January 15, 2019, at 9 pm.
