Mumbai, May 26

Filmmaker Adhish Rana is gearing up for the release of his film 'Jeena Dil Se'.

Jeena Dil Se features Ruma Sharma, Lakhya Handa, Mehak Jain, Yash Purohit, Kunal Chhabra, Deeksha Suryawanshi, Teji Singh, Priyanka Modgill, Shivani Wazir, Kanchan Singh, Kiara Diwan, Abhishek Singh Rajput, Shradha Joshi, and Muskan Varshney others.

Ahead of the release, Adhish opened up about his experience directing the film.

"It was a very unique experience for me. In this opportunity, I have highlighted my Haryana state very well. And since I am from there, I shot it a little more and showed it well...I wanted to show my unique point of view to everyone with my own eyes. I was also very nervous because I had such a big crew. There were so many people. And unlike other projects, there were 15 actors in my film. So being the director, the solo director, I had to handle all of them. I had to make them perform what I wanted. And I had to manage all the crew. It was a little difficult. Actually, not a little. It was very difficult. But I enjoyed it a lot," he shared.

'Jeena Dil Se' is scheduled to be released on May 29.

It's refreshing to see a director put local flavor into their work instead of always setting films in Mumbai or Delhi. But I hope the story is as strong as the regional pride. Good luck to the team! ✨

Managing 15 actors and a whole crew as a solo director? That's like running a one-man army! I've worked on small productions and know how tough it is. Salute to his passion. Jai Haryana! 🙏

Another small film with regional flavor - hope it doesn't get lost among the big-budget releases. The cast looks decent though. Will watch it if reviews are good. All the best to the team! 🤞

A director with a vision for his home state - that's exactly what Indian cinema needs more of. Not everything has to be commercial. This feels like a labor of love. Will definitely support it on May 29! 💪🎥

Respect to Adhish for taking on such a huge responsibility alone. But I wonder if the film will have proper distribution outside of Haryana. Regional films often struggle with reach. Still, rooting for this one. 🏆
