People liked our work: Saiyami on ‘Mirzya’
Actress Saiyami Kher, whose debut film Mirzya failed to work at the box office, says what matters the most to…
Some put new wine in old bottle. Some put message in a bottle. But he mixes the old and new for a beautiful new!
Rakeysh Mehra is a master when it comes to new creation and his directorial Mirzya showcases the beauty of two worlds put together.
He often mixes two worlds—old and new—successfully in his earlier films. Be it his cult film Rang de Basanti or the super hit biopic Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Mehra showcased the past and present times in his films with a smooth transformation.

This time, he has done it again with Mirzya, even more beautifully and seamlessly.
The folklore and the contemporary parts of Mirzya are made to look stunning and real.
“Mirzya is folklore, not history; so there is nothing real about it. The coolest thing about folklore is that there are so many versions and interpretations by writers across generations. You’ll feel like you’re watching a Shakespearean drama. It’s not a period film. The stories -one belongs to a different century and the other is set in today’s times -run parallel. The present picks up where the folklore leaves you. Finally, both merge, the lines blur and they become one,“ Mehra said.
The beautiful and classic love story of Mirza Sahiban moved Mehra over 30 years ago and then he decided to put the same characters in current times. It will be very interesting to see such union of stories which are similar in their core.
Produced by Cinestaan Film Company & ROMP Pictures, Mirzya is set to hit the floors on October 7.
