BOMBAY TIMES (December 16, 2015)

Divya Khosla Kumar, whose maiden venture Yaariyan was a hit with the youth brigade and Bollywood music lovers, is getting ready with her second directorial venture Sanam Re. It stars Pulkit Samrat, Yami Gautam and Urvashi Rautela in pivotal roles. This is the first time Pulkit and Yami share screen space together and their crackling chemistry is already a talking point.

Shot on virgin locations in Canada, Ladakh and Kalpa in Himachal Pradesh, the visuals of snow-capped mountains and green plains have deliberately been chosen to enhance the film's mood. From shooting in sub-zero temperatures with barely any electricity in Kalpa to cycling to the sets in Calgary, the cast and crew have done it all to make this musical romance come alive on screen.

Divya's own graph from the youthful Yaariyan to the mature love story of Sanam Re shows her growth as a filmmaker. Coming from the stable of T-Series, the movie's songs range from soulful to peppy and are sure to catch on in the coming weeks. The trailer, which launches online tomorrow, is the perfect teaser for what promises to be a passionate film. Produced by T-Series, Sanam Re releases on February 12, 2016.

The pretty actress-turned-filmmaker says, “I am extremely excited about this day as all of us have worked tirelessly to make it happen. Sanam Re is a soul-stirring love story. It is very different from Yaariyan and people will realise this from the trailer itself. From the script to the songs and locales, every nuance has been researched thoroughly and the result is there for all to see.'' Producer Bhushan Kumar adds, “Divya's first film was a success and she has grown as a director with Sanam Re, which is an emotional love story with great music.“
