Some pictures from the sets of Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming film Yeh Prem Mol Liya has surfaced online, sparking speculation among fans.
The images, which have been widely shared across social media platforms, appears to show lead actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari shooting a sequence set around the Chhath Puja festival.
While neither the makers nor the actors have commented on the stills, fans have been quick to dissect the visuals. The authenticity of the images has not been independently verified, but it has added to the growing anticipation surrounding Barjatya’s next directorial venture.
