It's a happy time for Indian television. Barring the naagins and daayans, the good thing doing the rounds is that our big screen stars are not shying away from making their small screen debut too, much like the trend in the West where Hollywood celebs make regular appearances on television shows too. The latest one to join the list is Bollywood's veteran Tanuja. The yesteryear actor will soon be seen playing a pivotal role in an upcoming show titled 'Aarambh.' Aarambh will air on Star Plus. According to our sources in the channel, the show "will take the audience back in the era of the Aryans and Dravidians." The show will trace the beginning of civilisation and will show the clash between two clans. More from the world of Entertainment: As per reports, Aarambh will star Rajniesh Duggal and south Indian actor Karthika in the lead roles, while Tanuja will play the spiritual guide belonging to the Dravidian clan. Aarambh will be directed by Bollywood filmmaker Goldie Behl and has been penned down by K.V. Vijayendra Prasad. Vijayendra Prasad has already scripted films including Baahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
