Confirmed the news, Zaan, in a statement to Times Of India, said, "Yes, I am joining Ishqbaaz as the antagonist. I will play Varun, a young entrepreneur. It’s an amazing character and challenging at the same time. This is the first time, I would be playing a part, which oscillates between positive and negative. Varun is two-faced. While he behaves like the quintessential good boy in front of the Oberois, his real and scheming side comes to the fore when he is not with them."

Speaking of Niti Taylor's entry, the actress will be seen essaying the character Mannat Kaur Khurana in Dhinchak Ishqbaaz. She will play the love-interest on the show opposite Mehta’s character, Shivaansh Singh Oberoi, while Manjiri Pupala, who is also the lead, may turn negative, as reports suggest. A Tellychakkar report suggests that Nakuul and Niti are set to go all filmy with their love story on the show.
