Actors Prajakta Koli, Shikha Talsania, Adhaar Khurana and Chaitnya Sharma among many others are all set to star in the ‘Taming of the Shrew’ adaptation ‘Yeh Shaadi Nahi Ho Sakti’.
Drenched in 90s nostalgia, it is directed by Akarsh Khurana. The central conflict of the plot is that love birds Lakshman (Chaitnya Sharma) and Priya (Prajakta Koli) cannot marry each other till the latter’s elder sister Pallavi (Shikha Talsania) get married. Lakshman then devises a hilarious plan and tries to get Pallavi hitched to an eligible NRI groom (Adhaar Khurana). What follows is absolute mayhem, endless fun, and impossible wedding moments.
Director Akarsh Khurana says, “Some stories like Yeh Shaadi Nhi Ho Sakti starring Prajakta Koli, are just an absolute joy to tell, and ‘Yeh Shaadi Nahi Ho Sakti’ was one such project from the very beginning. The cast and crew and I absolutely loved blending the colourful quirks of the 90s with the comedic genius of Shakespeare, both of which I grew up loving.”
While speaking about it he further added, “Writer Adhir Bhat’s script, Lisha Bajaj’s hilarious one-liners, and the energy of the actors brought the house down every time we rehearsed. I have no doubt that the audience will enjoy this story immensely.”
Sharing her experience, actress Prajakta Koli says: “I have done theatre before and working with Akarsh has always been a treat. He is like a mentor and guide to so many young actors and I always go to him to have heart-to-heart conversations. Even though he is a prankster, he always draws the best out of actors and I trusted him completely to guide me through my first teleplay and had an absolutely wonderful time on the sets.”
“The joy we experienced during the shoot is palpable in the final cut. The audience is going to love that this teleplay is so ‘extra’ and packed with so much fun!”
Actress Shikha Talsania who plays Pallavi in the teleplay says, “I had a great time playing Pallavi, took inspiration from all the actors of the nineties that I’ve adored and brought a whole lot of my own madness to it.”
‘Yeh Shaadi Nahi Ho Sakti’ will be airing on Tata Play Theatre on February 19.
