“COMING SOON -#DoosraKeval starring @iamsrk on @RetroDD,” Doordarshan National had tweeted from its official account.

The show will premier on DD RETRO- a new channel launched last month by Prasar Bharti to re-air the old shows from DD's archives.

Doosra Keval directed by Lekh Tandon stars Shah Rukh Khan in a double role. It features Khan as Keval, a village boy who dies in an attempt to stop his friend from becoming a terrorist. The cast also includes Vinita Malik, Natasha Rana and Arun Bali.

Apart from this, the channel had brought back multiple shows from its archives for viewers amid the lockdown including Ramayan, Mahabharat, Byomkesh Bakshi, Shriman Shrimati, Buniyaad and Shaktimaan.
