Mumbai: Amidst the prevailing trend of horror films in Bollywood, another romantic horror movie—titled “Love and Ghost”—is set to arrive soon. The powerful trailer for this film, directed by Shripati Mishra and produced by Gaurav Mishra, was grandly launched at the IMPPA Theatre in Mumbai, where comedian Sunil Pal was present as the chief guest. Also in attendance at the event were the film’s lead actor, Ajeet Pandit, and actresses Madhulagna Das and Urmila Sharma.
Chief Guest Sunil Pal expressed his appreciation for the film’s trailer and extended his best wishes to the entire team for the movie’s success. He remarked that he shares a deep friendship with Director Shripati Mishra, noting that he is as fine a human being as he is a director.
Director Shripati Mishra stated, “We created this film inspired from various horror stories. The entire movie was shot in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. I place great emphasis on selecting excellent locations for my films; hence, we chose to film this project amidst the scenic valleys of Dehradun. I always strive to do something unique, and this film, too, stands apart from other horror movies. I have been associated with the industry for 25 to 30 years, and all that accumulated experience proved invaluable during this project. The biggest challenge in making a horror film is the significant amount of time required for VFX work.”
Ehsan Khan plays a pivotal role in the film as a *Tantric* (occult practitioner). The movie features two songs, and all the cast members have acted with immense hard work and dedication. “The shooting continued until 3:00 AM.”
The film’s protagonist, Ajeet Pandit, stated that everyone involved worked extremely hard to create this movie. “My character is such that you will find yourself feeling both affection and anger towards him at different times. At moments, he will appear to be in the right, while at others, he will seem to be in the wrong. That is precisely the unique essence of this character. The film features suspense, thrills, and even a ghost; I am hopeful that, just as the trailer has been well-received, the film itself will be appreciated by audiences in theaters.”
Madhulagna Das, an actress who has worked in numerous South Indian films, considers herself very fortunate to be a part of this Bollywood production. She expressed her gratitude to the producer and director for selecting her for this role. “We shot several scenes underwater, as well as some amidst mountains and rocky terrain—sequences that proved to be extremely challenging. I hope the audience enjoys the film.”
Actress Urmila Sharma plays the role of the female lead’s mother. She thoroughly enjoyed her time shooting in Dehradun.
Producer Gaurav Mishra presents *Love & Ghost* under the banner of Rudraksh Movies & Entertainment. He mentioned that he has harbored a keen interest in film production for quite some time. “When writer-director Shripathi Mishra narrated the concept to me, I was instantly captivated and immediately set about bringing it to life. I was introduced to the director through our lead actress, Madhulagna Das. We are also currently collaborating with him on another film titled *Asli Chehra*, which he is directing as well.”
Produced under the banner of Ratna Shri Films in association with B.L. Films & TV Production, *Love & Ghost* is produced by Gaurav Mishra, Anant Singh, Kshatrapati Mishra, and Praddep Siingh. The film’s crew includes Executive Producers Shiv Narayan Rawat and Chandra Mohan Pandey; Music Composer Keshav Anand; Lyricist Varsha Saxena; Line Producer Sanjay Maithani; DOP Umesh Chand Rai; and Action Director Irfan Khan. The cast features Ajeet Pandit, Madhulagna Das, Ehsan Khan, Urmila Sharma, Mohit Pandey, Kaushal Sharma, Shiv Narayan Rawat, and Kuldeep Aswal. The film is slated for release in theaters very soon.
