Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur team up for the romantic film ‘Do Deewane Seher Mein’, directed by Ravi Udyawar and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Both actors share how they came on board for the ‘isq-bhari’ story.
Siddhant Chaturvedi on joining the project
Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur’s upcoming romantic movie ‘Do Deewane Seher Mein’ is all set to hit theatres this month, bringing to the audience an “isq-bhari” story. Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi, who plays the lead male character, opened up on how he came on board for the project. Speaking to ANI, Siddhant shared, “When I was working with Ravi (Udyawar) sir, we realised that we wanted to make a romantic film. At that time, there weren’t many romantic films. After ‘Yudhra’, I got a call from the sir, and he told me a story. I was touched by it and could resonate with it a lot. A lot of things happen in a simple way, and it was the same for me. With Sanjay Leela Bhansali sir as a producer and Mrunal opposite me, everything was just in place. The story was beautiful.”
Mrunal Thakur on manifesting her role
Mrunal Thakur, who admitted that she manifested working with director Ravi Udyawar, further added, “I always made a note in my mind that I want to work with him. I remember meeting him in a building when I was with my mother. I spoke to him briefly and expressed my wish to work with him in the future. When ‘Do Deewane Seher Mein’ came to me, I was like ‘Nobody apart from Mrunal will play Roshni.'”

Director’s take on the story
Director Ravi Udyawar offered a sneak peek into the story of ‘Do Deewane Seher Mein’, adding, “This story is so important for this era. This is the story of two incomplete people, meeting together.”
