Harish Raj to star in a devotional serial

After a stint on Bigg Boss, actor Harish Raj is now getting busy with television projects. Harish Raj, who is currently seen on the comedy show Majaa Bharatha, will be a part of the devotional serial Yediyur Siddhalingeshwara, directed by Naveen Krishna. The show traces the life of Yediyur Siddhalingeshwara, a revered Sharana saint and will have Vinay Gowda playing Shiva.
Harish Raj says, “I play the younger version of Mallikarjuna, Siddhalingeshwara’s father, who has to deal with his son’s spiritual leaning and worldly knowledge, which leads to people revering him.When I get roles like this, I feel it’s a divine calling as I am a firm believer and not often does one get opportunities to play such characters. In movies, I have played a role like this, but on the small screen it will be the first time that I will be acting in a devotional serial."
As for Majaa Bharatha, he adds, “My role is to bridge a gap between host and judges. I have appeared as a student, grandmother and college student on the show. I am thoroughly enjoying the work in Majaa Bharatha.” On the film front, the actor is awaiting for the release of Khiladi Police.
