Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani to feature in Satyaprem Ki Katha
Mumbai: Bollywood actors Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani will feature in the upcoming romantic drama titled, Satyaprem Ki Katha.
The film marks the second collaboration of the duo after their first film together, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, became one of the massive hits of 2022.
Kartik Aaryan took to Instagram to announce the title and reveal his first look from the film. Sharing his first look, he wrote, “Happy Birthday Katha!! Your SatyaPrem. #SatyapremKiKatha.”
Meanwhile, Director Sameer Vidwans commented on the post by writing, “My Satyaprem and Katha.”
Directed by Bollywood debutant and the one who helmed the National Award-winning 2019 Marathi drama Anandi Gopal, Sameer Vidwans, and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Satyaprem Ki Katha is an epic love story.
The film was announced in June 2021 as Satyanarayan Ki Katha. However, the makers decided to change the title to avoid hurting religious sentiments as the initial title received outrage by a section of audience on social media.
The makers had even issued a statement that read, “A title of the film is something that emerges organically through the creative process. We have taken a decision to change the title of our recently announced film ‘Satyanarayan ki Katha’ to avoid hurting sentiments, even if that’s purely unintentional. Producers of the film and the creative team also are in complete support of this decision. We will be announcing a new title for our love story in the due course of our journey.”
The original title, Satyanarayan Ki Katha, translated to the story of Satyanarayan, another name for Hindu god, Vishnu. The title refers to the veneration that is held in most Indian households as a mark of prosperity and positivity before beginning with anything significant.
