Farida Dadi to essay the role of Taari in for ‘Dil Hi To Hai’

Ekta Kapoor is all set to bring the most awaited Love Saga onscreen – ‘Dil Hi Toh Hai’ on Sony Entertainment Television. The show has been creating immense buzz among the audience for a long time. The makers are leaving no stone unturned to rope in top talents to be a part of this wonderful dream project. Bijay Anand and Geetanjali Tikekar are already roped in the show, making an addition to the list is veteran actress Farida Dadi who will be seen essaying the character of Taari in the show, who is a very sober, loving and a caring person. She has been a part of many popular shows and is highly recognized as the loving Grandmother.  The character she is playing in the show is similar to Farida Jalal who has played a role of caretaker in Karan Johar’s film. 

Talking about the show Farida Dadi says, “My association with Ekta Kapoor has been long and fruitful. When I was approached for the role, I really liked the way my character was shaped up and Ekta Kapoor really wanted me to be the part of her show. I am portraying the character similar to Farida Jalal and the happiness is more because we are best friends in real life. Before ‘Dil Hi To Hai’, Ekta did approach me for her other shows but due to certain reasons, I couldn’t be a part of them. Finally, here I am, working with Ekta again and I am excited. Ekta, as all know, likes to keep her old connections alive. Working with Sony Entertainment is always refreshing and collaborate with them again is wonderful. Looking forward to work and entertain the audiences.

Immensely challenging to recreate 1970’s Pakistan in India,” says Raazi Director, Meghna Gulzar

In a recent conversation with MN+ for their upcoming property ‘Talking Films’, Raazi film Director, Meghna Gulzar talked about the challenges she faced when shooting for the film. Meghna says, “Recreating an era of 1970 in 2017 was immensely difficult but what was more challenging was to create 1970’s Pakistan in India. After much deliberation and planning, we zeroed on the locations like Kashmir, Mumbai, Delhi and a few other places. The cast had to deal with the change in weather - sudden rains or even extreme hot climate.”

We love the overall look of the film from trailers and can’t wait for the movie to premiere.

Catch Meghna talk about her selection of films for MN+’s property ‘Talking Films’ that will air on May 10, -11 and on May 17 & 18 2018 at 7pm respectively, exclusively on MN+.
