After a false start, Sangeeta Bijlani, the '90s glamour girl, is set for a comeback. This time Bijli (as she is fondly called) has been roped in for a TV show, which will be the Indian adaptation of Revenge, the hit American TV series.

The actress, a former flame of Salman Khan, will play a desi version of Victoria Grayson, the beautiful and powerful matriarch of the Grayson family. Beneath her glossy public persona, is a ruthless woman. Victoria had shot her mother's lover, Thomas, upon her request as a teenager.

The Indian retelling of Revenge will be a 24-episode series. It will be shot in Mumbai and Dubai. A source close to the production told Mirror, “Sangeeta is likely to given a complete makeover for the vamp's role. The details are being worked out.“ Added the source, “Sangeeta has been looking for good work on TV for some time now. She had several offers in the past; this one really excited her. She is likely to start shooting in October.“

Earlier, she was set to make her comeback with Onir's film Shab. But Sangeeta stepped out from the project after expressing discomfort with its erotic content. The role eventually went to Raveena Tandon. Now, Bijli will finally have her revenge.
