Meezaan Jafri says his character in Yaariyaan 2 was an emotional and physical rollercoaster for him

Meezaan Jafri says his character in Yaariyaan 2 was an emotional and physical rollercoaster for him

Meezaan Jafri is all set for the release of his upcoming film, Yaariyan 2. In Yaariyan 2, Meezaan plays Shikhar Randhawa, a charming hunk who appears to be blunt and has a tough exterior but deep down possesses a tender heart. The actor portrays a deeply layered character and speaking about it he said, “ I love challenging myself with each film, and when Bhushan ji (producer Bhushan Kumar) offered me Yaariyan 2, I had to be a part of it because of the complexity of the character. I immersed myself completely in playing Shikhar Randhawa. The character was emotionally challenging for me. The love affair of Shikhar was a brainteaser. It took me months to detach myself emotionally from Shikhar.” 

He further added,  “I learned to ride a dirt bike for the role, which was another interesting challenge for me. I am glad to be a part of Yaariyan 2. The film was an emotional and physical rollercoaster for me, and I will always hold it close to my heart.”

Meezaan has been experimenting with different genres. After making his debut with an intense film like Malaal, he was seen in the comedy Hungama 2, before he signed Yaariyan 2.

The actor also feels that Shikhar Randhawa is a far cry from his real self. The film, which also stars Divya Khosla Kumar and Pearl V Puri in pivotal roles, explores the themes of friendship, love, and complex human nature in the most beautiful manner.

~A show narrating the untold stories of Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s childhood~

In the annals of Indian history, several Prime Ministers have emerged as transformative leaders, steering their nation through pivotal moments with great vision and resolve. Their tenures were marked by a series of monumental decisions that shaped the country’s destiny and propelled it to the forefront of global influence. Through strategic vision and decisive actions, these leaders etched their names in history, leaving an indelible legacy that defined an era of unprecedented success and progress. One such prominent leader was the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee. 

Atal Bihari Vajpayee was an influential statesman and Indians hold his legacy in high regard. & TV is set to explore the untold aspects of his childhood through its new show, ‘Atal’. Produced by Euphoria Productions, the show will deep dive into the formative years of a leader who played a pivotal role in shaping India's destiny. Set against the backdrop of British colonial rule in India, the show will delve into the intricacies of Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s childhood, shedding light on the incidents, beliefs, and challenges that molded him into the leader that he was. The storyline will highlight his relationship with his mother, who deeply influenced his beliefs, values, and thinking. On one hand, India was facing slavery under British rule, and on the other, it was facing internal strife and division of wealth, caste, and discrimination. A dream envisioned by Atal's mother of a united India was a dream he deeply cherished. This storyline unfolds the inspiring story of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a boy from humble beginnings who became one of India's most prominent leaders.

‘Atal’ coming soon only on & TV!
