When Colors was launched way back in 2008, no one had thought that the new channel would go on to become so popular among the audience in no time. The channel will complete a decade of its journey next year. But before that, it is coming up with a number of great shows to woo the audience.
After launching Mahakali– Anth hi Aarambh Hai last month, Colors has now revealed the promo of its new fiction show Tu Aashiqui. The show is being produced by Mahesh Bhatt, and it's being said that it is the TV adaption of the sleeper hit film Aashiqui 2, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles.
Tu Aashiqui features Jannat Zubair Rahmani and Ritik in the lead roles. Jannat, who has previously played the role of Phulwa on the Colors show, will now play a middle-class girl called Pankti Sharma while Ritik plays a musician Ahaan Dhanrajgir. Ritik's character is inspired from Aditya Roy Kapur’s in ‘Aashiqui 2’. Sources also reveal that the basic story of Tu Aashiqui is inspired from the Hollywood movie Endless Love featuring Brooke Shields.
Well, whether the show is really a TV adaptation of Aashiqui 2 or Endless Love is something we will get to know only after it goes on air. Tu Aashiqui is expected to go on air around Diwali.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
