After the great success of Blind Love, actress Aalisha Panwar is back again with another short film titled Ishqiyaat. The film, directed by Prradip Khairwar, also stars actor Rrahul Sudhir . Recently they were in the mountains for the shoot and had a great time. Aalisha shares some details and says,”Ishqiyaat is a love story of a Kashmiri Muslim girl called Heer. It's a different love story. Before this, people have given me a lot of love in short films where I played Naina in Blind love part 1 and 2. That was totally different because she was a simple girl who was very sober, sweet and well behaved and she was blind. And later on in the second part she gets her eyes back. But in this film my accent and looks are totally different. People will get to see Heer and I have loved the shoot.”
On asking about her director Prradip Khairwar Aalisha says,”After Blind love 2, this will be our third project together. Prradip Sir has been a wonderful director and human being. Whenever we are shooting with him, the whole environment is very positive. He makes it so comfortable for artists that it becomes easy shooting with him. I am sure that people will fall in love with Ishqiyaat when they will watch it as it is a simple love story.”
Rrahul Sudhir who is the male lead in the film and fans have already started praising this new on-screen Jodi. What will you say?
“This would be my first project with Rrahul and I knew him before but had never worked together. We both hail from the north so we can relate to each other as well. I am hopeful fans will love our jodi and our chemistry will work too.”
Shooting in the North in winter can be very tough. She adds,”We have shot few parts in Manali, and also in Kashmir. December is the month when we get to see snow in the North. It's difficult as well because being the heroine you cannot wear too many clothes like overcoats, jackets and mufflers. You have to be presentable with a nice outfit. It’s difficult when you have to say the dialogues and perform; at times you just freeze out there. It’s a nostalgic feeling as I hail from Shimla, Himachal and I have grown up seeing snowfall. Since I have shifted to Mumbai, I don't get much time to visit Himachal.“
Short films are indeed an interesting genre where the actors are getting so much exposure - what is your point of view? “Yes, definitely short films are interesting genre where every actor gets to explore. As actors, it is our duty to perform and to entertain our audience. I love doing that, no matter whatever the platform is. Whether it is digital, TV, Bollywood or a music video. I love doing short films being the reason that we wind up really quickly. There is a particular start and end and in short film there is a nice story narrated for the audience. It's so natural doing it and no extra spicy things you can expect from the format. We have a song coming up of Ishqiyaat and a nice beautiful title song as well which would be shot here in the mountains. I am sure people will love the new jodi of Rrahul and Aalisha as Kabir and Heer.“
