Tellychakkar.com talked to producer Rajan Shahi on the telefilm and this is what he had to say. “Well, it is a nice feeling that the series of telefilms on Star Plus starts with our story. This is a big responsibility and we are looking forward to the airing of it. We have shot extensively at the Pataudi Palace and it seems as though it has been depicted as one character in itself. Arvind Babbalji, our director for the telefilm zeroed in on Pataudi Palace as the location of shoot, and I feel there would not have been a better location than this for our love story.” Gautam Rode who essays the male protagonist said, “I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of shooting the telefilm with Director’s Kut. We had an extensive outdoor at the Pataudi Palace and it was a memorable experience.” Dimple Jhangiani had this to say, “Well, Rajanji told me that the moment he created my character he had me in mind to play the role (smiles). For the first time in my career, I play a girl of my age who is very chirpy and bubbly, wearing shorts. I am looking forward to watching the telefilm.” Dolly Ahluwalia on her part said, “The production value was high and working with Rajan was a very good experience. I play a dadi who is modern in her thought process. She believes in giving the space that her daughter wants, but at the same time stands as a pillar of support whenever she needs me. I am the third eye of my daughter, and keep watching her activities. It was a pleasure working with a director like Arvind Babbalji. Also the younger generation kids Gautam, Mala, Kushal and Dimple were so very good and we had a fun time together.” Well, the anticipation and excitement amongst the viewers when it comes to the telefilms is huge, and we are really looking forward for Director’s Kut to kickstart the series with their beautiful love story.
