In the recent years, most of the films have portrayed Indo-Pak relations under a very negative light. However, there’s a film that will highlight the value of friendship and love among the two nations.
Set in 1940s, ‘Yaara Ve’ is a period drama starring Yuvraj Hans, Gagan Kokri, Raghvir Boli and Monica Gill in the leading roles. Apart from the lead cast, other stellar star cast includes veteran actors such as Yograj Singh, Sardar Sohi, Nirmal Rishi, Hobby Dhaliwal, Malkit Rauni, Seema Kaushal, BN Sharma, Raghveer Boli, Gurpreet Kaur Bhangu and Rana Jung Bahadur.
It is written by Rupinder Inderjit and is being produced by Bally Singh Kakar under Golden Bridge Films and Entertainment Pvt Ltd label.
Gagan Kokri, the actor of the film, said ‘Yaara Ve’ is quite a unique concept and I am glad to be a part of this film. This is a period film set in the times when people and relations were pure and unconditional. I really hope we have done justice to those times when India and Pakistan shared love and friendship. People will definitely feel connected to all the emotions we have tried to portray in the movie.”
Monica Gill, the lead actress, also shared her thoughts and said, “Yaara Ve is probably the most-fulfilling film I would have ever done. The storyline is simple but it was really difficult to portray the times we have only heard about from our grandparents. I really hope the audience will be able to relate to ‘Naseebo’ and love her character.” Director Rakesh Mehta said, “The movie is the perfect blend of emotions, drama, romance and comedy and it is set in the testing times of Indi-Pak Partition.” ‘Yaara Ve’ will hit the theatres on April 5.
