Sargun and Ravi Dubey on casting Manisha Rani and Abhishek Kumar in 'Hale dil' & 'Tu Aashiiki Haii'

Actors-producers Sargun and Ravi Dubey reveal insights into their new dramas 'Hale Dil' and 'Tu Aashiqui Hai' featuring fresh talent

"There's no real difference between Indu and Manisha Rani--Manisha is Indu - Ravi Dubey"

Mumbai, June 4

Actors turned producers Sargun Mehta and Ravi Dubey are backing two new shows "Hale Dil", and "Aashiqui" under their home banner Dreamiyata Drama. During an exclusive interaction with IANS, Sargun and Ravi shared their experience of working on both dramas.

Talking about the initial glimpse of these projects receiving a positive response, Sargun told IANS, "People have given a lot of love to both the shows--'Lovely Lola' and 'Dil Ko Rafoo Karle'. If you haven't seen them yet, you can watch them on the Dreamyata Drama YouTube channel. We are extremely excited and overwhelmed by the wonderful response. We've also released the trailers of 'Haale Dil' and 'Tu Aashiqui Hai', and we're really hoping the audience will love these shows too."

While "Hale Dil" stars Manisha Rani, and Nishank Verma in the lead, "Aashiqui" has Abhishek Kumar, Amandeep Sidhu, and Mahir Pandhi in the primary roles.

When asked about casting popular faces like Manisha and Abhishek, Ravi shared, "The reason is simple--they are absolutely perfect for their respective characters. There's no real difference between Indu and Manisha Rani--Manisha is Indu. Similarly, Pamma and Abhishek resemble each other so closely. That kind of synergy between character and actor is a beautiful thing."

During the interaction, Sangun and Ravi also faced the question, "Television shows often tend to follow TRP-driven storylines. Do you think your shows bring a different kind of freshness?"

To this, Sargun replied by saying, "Definitely. We draw inspiration from the drama genre overall--whether it's Korean, Turkish, or Pakistani shows. Korean dramas are hugely popular, especially because they're limited series. Turkish and Pakistani dramas are also widely loved. But what's common is that each of them represents their own culture."

"We wanted to tell stories that are complete, meaningful, and time-bound. On television, stories have to be stretched for a long time, and in the process, many creative elements get lost. Here, we have the freedom to present our stories and creativity in a much shorter format, which we're truly enjoying," she added.

So excited for these shows! Manisha Rani was brilliant in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and Abhishek's Bigg Boss journey was emotional. Perfect casting choices 👏 Hope the stories live up to the hype!

Interesting that they're taking inspiration from international dramas. But I hope they don't just copy-paste foreign concepts. Indian audiences deserve original stories rooted in our culture too.

Finally someone talking about limited series format! Our daily soaps stretch stories until they become ridiculous. More power to Dreamiyata for trying something fresh 💯

Not sure about Manisha Rani's acting chops - she's more of a reality show star. Hope she proves me wrong! But Abhishek Kumar is a solid choice after his BB performance.

The trailer of Haale Dil looks promising! Love that they're casting fresh faces instead of the same old TV actors. Excited to see what Nishank Verma brings to the table too.

Sargun and Ravi are making all the right moves! From acting to production, they understand what today's audience wants. YouTube is the future for quality content away from TRP pressures.
