Speaking about his experience on
coming back to acting in a movie after such a long time, the `original’ King of
Romance Dharmendra said that hereally liked the concept and the story and he decided
to go ahead with the project. Working with ace actress Zarina Wahab was also
what made him take up the project. He love being in front of the camera and
hence would not like to miss any opportunity especially when the story is a
good one. He loved working with the whole team and we became one big family on
the sets.’
Dharmendra had even tweeted a
picture from the sets of the movie. ``Bahut pyaari insaan, aur ek umda adakra
Zarina Wahab ke saath ek chhoti mukhtsar si film ki shooting ke mauqe par kali
li gai ek tasveer,’’ he says in his tweet.
On her part Zarina Wahab said that
she was super excited to be offered a role opposite Dharam and she could just
not say no. She has always thought of Dharam as having the looks of a Greek
God. She remembers inviting him to the sets of Chitchor at the start of her career.
Dharmendra is all what you can think of in a good co-star: humble,
accommodating. The story was also something she took to instantly as it is a
super cute one and really relevant in today’s times.’
The four part anthology is most
likely to hit the big screens in the first half of 2020. The shooting of the
other short films is still to commence.
Speaking on his experience of
working with the duo, Sachin Gupta stated that he wanted to bring alive the
magic of yesteryear romance which is why he decided to make this short film.
Working with Dharmendra was a super experience and he is truly a legend.
Despite his age, he used to be on the sets even at 8am if the shot demanded,
despite having spent the whole night rehearsing his scenes. He used to
improvise the shots by adding his own lines and his poetry. It is honestly very
rare to find such discipline and dedication at such an age. The chemistry of
the couple Zarina Wahab and Dharmendra was great and we were able to bring the
romance alive on the screen too.’
The movie also stars debutant
Priyanka Lulla who has earlier starred in music videos. Gully Boy fame Nakul
Sahdev is also part of the movie. Child artist Naisha Khanna who has starred in
movies like Hichki, Baar Baar Dekho and Brothers also forms part of the star
cast.
