Mumbai, June 4 (NationPress) Actors turned producers Sargun Mehta and Ravi Dubey are proudly presenting two exciting new shows, 'Hale Dil' and 'Aashiqui', under their production banner Dreamiyata Drama. In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Sargun and Ravi discussed their journey while working on these captivating dramas.
Speaking about the early response to these projects, Sargun expressed, "The audience has showered immense love on both shows—'Lovely Lola' and 'Dil Ko Rafoo Karle'. If you haven’t caught them yet, they are available on the Dreamiyata Drama YouTube channel. We are genuinely thrilled and humbled by the fantastic feedback. We've also unveiled trailers for 'Hale Dil' and 'Tu Aashiqui Hai', and we're optimistic that viewers will enjoy these productions as well!"
'Hale Dil' features Manisha Rani and Nishank Verma in lead roles, while 'Aashiqui' stars Abhishek Kumar, Amandeep Sidhu, and Mahir Pandhi as the main characters.
When asked about the choice of popular actors like Manisha and Abhishek, Ravi explained, "The rationale is straightforward—they embody their characters perfectly. There’s a striking similarity between Indu and Manisha Rani—Manisha truly is Indu. Likewise, Pamma and Abhishek share a strong resemblance. That kind of alignment between character and actor is something truly special."
During the conversation, Sargun and Ravi were also questioned about the tendency of television shows to follow TRP-driven narratives. "Do you believe your shows offer a refreshing perspective?"
In response, Sargun stated, "Absolutely. We derive inspiration from the overall drama genre—be it Korean, Turkish, or Pakistani dramas. Korean dramas are particularly popular due to their limited series format. Turkish and Pakistani dramas also have a significant fanbase. What ties them together is their distinct cultural representation."
"Our goal was to narrate stories that are complete, meaningful, and concise. In television, narratives often get extended, causing many creative elements to fade. Here, we have the liberty to present our tales and creativity in a more condensed format, which we are relishing," she added.
