Mumbai, Feb 12 (NationPress) It has been nine years since Abhishek Kapoor's musical romantic drama, 'Fitoor' graced the silver screen. Starring Tabu, Katrina Kaif, and Aditya Roy Kapur in pivotal roles, the film was released on February 12, 2016.

To mark this memorable occasion, Abhishek Kapoor shared a collection of behind-the-scenes images from 'Fitoor' on Instagram. He also penned a touching message, reflecting on his journey while working on the project.

Abhishek Kapoor expressed, "9 Years of Fitoor... A film set is a universe unto itself. It flows amidst organized chaos, each moment crafted by numerous hands, every shot sculpted through intuition, precision, and trust. Fitoor was a film born from fervor. Every frame, every performance, and every camera movement was meticulously designed. And at its core was the aspiration to breathe life into a love story filled with poetry, passion, and intensity."

The director continued, "On set, you don’t merely direct a film. You guide, you listen, you create. You become the steward of the world you’re constructing, navigating between actors, cinematographers, technicians, and ephemeral moments that may never recur. It’s a choreography of control and yielding, between having a clear vision and uncovering new discoveries along the way."

Praising the lead actors Katrina Kaif, Tabu, and Aditya Roy Kapur, the filmmaker remarked, "Aditya infused a subtle intensity into Noor, embodying the essence of love and yearning in every shot. Katrina portrayed Firdaus with elegance, passion, and an enigmatic quality that rendered her unforgettable. And then there’s Tabu; Haider Begum, a character steeped in heartbreak and strength. She didn’t just inhabit a role; she imprinted a lingering presence that captivates and enchants long after the credits roll."

He concluded, "As Fitoor celebrates its 9th anniversary today, I reflect on those moments on set; the times when everything aligned, where everyone involved poured their essence into crafting this film. To the cast, the crew, and everyone who contributed to Fitoor, this one will forever hold a special place in my heart."
