The trailer of Love, Sitara, starring Sobhita Dhulipala, was unveiled by the makers on Thursday. The film is directed by Vandana Kataria and also stars Rajeev Siddhartha, Sonali Kulkarni, B Jayashree, Virginia Rodrigues, Sanjay Bhutiani, Tamara D’Souza, Rijul Ray among others.
The trailer introduces Sobhita as Tara, an independent interior designer and Arjun, a passionate chef. Their seemingly perfect relationship faces a crucial test when unexpected situations prompt a spontaneous marriage proposal. As wedding preparations unfold in Tara's home, intergenerational conflicts and hidden truths begin to emerge. According to the makers, ‘the film explores the complexities of modern relationships, the weight of family expectations, and the courage needed to face uncomfortable truths.’
Speaking about playing the role, Sobhita said, “Playing Sitara has been a very meaningful journey for me, a coming-of-age in real life. Sitara is a character with interesting complexes - a successful interior designer attempting to understand the reasons for her own choices, her family dynamics and the patterns we inherit from family, unknowingly. What drew me to this role is that it’s the story of a girl who finds the courage to shatter her conditioning and be honest to herself no matter what. She is a family girl at heart and will stand for what she believes in, even if it is not easy.”
Talking about his character in the film, Rajeev said, “My character, Arjun, is an ambitious chef whose life takes an unexpected turn just as he's about to tie the knot. I love how complex and real the characters are in the film. The trailer gives just a taste of the emotional journey that lies ahead, and I'm eager for the audience to experience the full story.”
Director Vandana added in her statement, “Creating Love, Sitara has been a long yet fun journey through the ups and downs of the Covid lockdowns. It’s a modern take on the quintessential Bollywood love story set within a family drama. I'm thrilled to be collaborating with RSVP and to have ZEE5 support us on this journey. We're confident that this movie will not only entertain but also spark conversations offering fresh perspectives on love, forgiveness, and marriages.”
Love, Sitara is set to premiere on ZEE5 on September 27.
