Following a powerful performance in Hansal Mehta’s Scam 1992, actor Pratik Gandhi is set to appear in Atithi Bhooto Bhava, a Hindi Horror-Comedy. Pratik will appear in Atithi Bhooto Bhava for the first time alongside actor Jackie Shroff. Sharmin Segal, who made her Bollywood debut in Malaal, also appears in the film (2019).
‘Jackie Shroff' shared about his character in the film and said, “I have portrayed enormous characters, but Makhan Singh in Atithi Bhooto Bhava was something different. Portraying a Ghost was very exciting and thought it would be captivating for the audience to see me in this role as well. There are many instances and scenes that the audience will connect with. It’s a beautiful romantic movie! I am hoping that the audience enjoys it as much as we (Partik, Sharmin and I) enjoyed making it”.
Talking about the movie and his role in the film ‘Pratik Gandhi' says, “Atithi Bhooto Bhava is an entertaining film and full of emotions. I was inclined towards the script because it had a different narrative. In times when there are thrillers and murder mysteries, Atithi Bhooto Bhava is a light-hearted romantic musical film which will connect with the audiences and make them believe in love again”.
‘Sharmin Segal’ commented on the film’s story and says why she couldn’t refuse it, “I strongly believe that love should be expressed when felt and that’s one of the main messages of this film. My character Netra craves for attention, affection, from Srikant which he is unable to give her until he realises the value of love. The movie showcases a beautiful journey of two love stories and Jackie sir’s character helps our characters understand how rare it is to find love and how important it is to appreciate it. Love is a very complex emotion. There are multiple interpretations of love that exist. I wanted to understand whether, “True Love really exists” and that’s why I couldn’t refuse this script”.
Director of the movie Hardik Gajjar, commented on love being the important part of one’s life, “Atithi Bhooto Bhava is really close to my heart, but at the same time it’s also an important film. In the times when there are countless platforms to express your views, we are finding it difficult to express our feelings. That feeling of true love is so pure, but sometimes why do we undermine the importance of expressing it? This film focusses on the same thing and also highlights that the power of love can transcend beyond life and death”.
“Atithi Bhooto Bhava” will premiere on ZEE5 on 23rd September, 2022.
