Ayushmann Khurrana has described Sooraj R. Barjatya’s upcoming musical family entertainer Yeh Prem Mol Liya as a film for “Bharat” rather than just “India”. The actor made the comment while highlighting the movie’s connection with Indian culture, traditional values and the distinctive style associated with Barjatya’s films.
At the film’s music launch on Sunday, composer Himesh Reshammiya performed live for the audience. Ayushmann and Sharvari, who headline the film, also joined the launch of the title track and spoke about their experience working with the popular composer.
Ayushmann Khurrana Explains Why the Film Is for ‘Bharat’
Praising Himesh Reshammiya’s understanding of both emotions and mass audiences, Ayushmann said the composer has a strong connection with the tastes of the Indian public.
Recalling his first narration meeting with Sooraj Barjatya, Ayushmann said he initially questioned the unusual title Yeh Prem Mol Liya. He noted that people had also questioned the title on social media.
However, everything changed when Barjatya played the title track for him. Ayushmann said he immediately felt that there could not be a more suitable title for the film.
According to the actor, the unique title and the collaboration between Barjatya and Reshammiya are among the reasons he believes the film will connect with audiences across Bharat.
Sharvari Praises Himesh Reshammiya’s Music
Sharvari also spoke warmly about her experience working with Himesh Reshammiya. She said she has grown up listening to his melodies and continues to enjoy his music.
The actor described the opportunity to perform on his song as a special experience and praised the warmth she finds in his music.
Sharvari also credited the lyrics with helping her connect more deeply with her character. She explained that listening to lyrics has always helped her understand and reach the emotional space of the characters she plays.
