Kiran Srinivas and Barkha Singh to feature in Yeh Hai Aashiqui

The Christmas special episode of Yeh Hai Aashiqui on Disney Bindass will narrate the tale of a Casanova boy and a feminist girl. The love tale set up in the backdrop of a basketball court will also see an interesting story woven around the sport. 

Produced by BBC Media Entertainment, the episodic was nostalgic for the team to shoot, as it was shot in Cinevistaas Studio, and also at the Dil Dostii Dance basketball court. 

The best part was that the maker brought in a basketball coach to train the leads and other actors on the game. The leads in fact went through a two days training at the court, before they got shooting for the episodic. 

The story will see young lad Kiran Srinivas of 24 and Paanch fame playing the male protagonist along with Barkha Singh, who is basically a model and anchor at Channel V. 

The episodic will narrate an impossible love tale between a Casanova and a girl who will simply hate men, and how their love story would stand the test of time. 

When contacted, Palki Malhotra, Creative Producer, BBC told us, “There was a lot of fun and nostalgia as the ex-D3 director Anirudh was directing the episodic. Also we used the D3 basket ball court in our scenes. Kiran and Barkha the leads were super and they went through a basket ball training to get their scenes right. Kiran was a natural, and after the final episode, it reminded me quite a bit about Dill Mill Gayye.”

Barkha told us, “It was indeed fun shooting for the episodic with BBC. After the rigorous two days basketball training we had, we got all our scenes perfectly. The coach himself called the shots for the basket ball sequence. In fact, I even managed to turn back and throw the ball into the net for a sequence, and such was the level of training we had.”

We could not get through to Kiran though.       

Get to watch this episodic love tale tomorrow, 21 December on Disney Bindass.
