Actor Arjun Singh Shekhawat, who featured in "Nagarjuna-Ek Yoddha", has been roped in to play Mannu Chaurasiya in the show "Half Marriage".

"He is a typical guy from Kanpur who speaks in a 'desi' way with a funny tone. He is not very educated and always wears colourful clothes. He walks in a funny way too. His father runs a 'paan' shop, but he has no interest in it," Arjun said in a statement.

"My role is mostly funny, but also helpful. I play a neighbour and a friend to the lead character," he added.

Tracing the lives of Arjun (Tarun Mahilani) and Chandini (Priyanka Purohit), "Half Marriage" explores an unusual marital bond born out of political influence and cultural beliefs.
