Zee5 has dropped first look posters of the stellar star cast of its upcoming film ‘Aafat-e-Ishq’ and its rustic mysterious vibes are intriguing and fun at the same time. Based on multi-award winning Hungarian film ‘Liza, The Fox Fairy’ and helmed by Indrajit Nattoji (‘Aagey Se Right’), ‘Aafat-e-Ishq’ will premiere exclusively on Zee5 on 29th October, 2021.
Produced by Zee Studios, ‘Arafat-e-Ishq’ follows the story of a woman’s quest for true love, how she finds herself as a prime suspect under multiple deaths while an ancient curse looms large, threatening to destroy everything and everyone around her.
Let’s meet the eclectic cast of Zee5’s ‘Aafat-e-Ishq’ through these newly launched posters:
The ‘Crook’ actress appears in three out of four posters released by Zee5 and in all of these she is seen in a very simple decent small town girl avatar contrary to the glam modern looks we generally see her in. Wearing a salwar suit with hair tied in pleats, she dons different expressions in each of them. Neha plays the role of Lallo, the Indian version of Liza. She is a woman in her 30s looking for love but every time there’s such a chance, supernatural forces come into play and take it away from her.
Namit Das
Know for his roles in Netflix’s ’A Suitable Boy’ Disney+ Hotstar’s ‘Arya’ and more, Namit will be seen in the role of a friendly ghost Atmaram in ‘Aafat-e-Ishq’. A singer in his previous life, Atmaram is Lallo’s constant companion, helping her through all her high and lows.
Deepak Dobriyal
Deepak is seen sitting and investigating the floor with markings of bodies with white chalk/paint in the poster while Lallo sits on a chair next to him. He will play investigating officer Vikram Kamal in the film and will handle Lallo’s employer Bahuji and her family’s case. Meanwhile he likes Lallo but is too afraid to tell her. Deepak’s previous credits include films like ‘Tanu weds Manu’, ‘Omkara’, ‘Dabangg 2’ and more and it’s his flawless acting skills and comic timing that make him stand out.
Ila Arun
Veteran actress and folk singer Ila Arun plays the role of Bahuji, Lallo’s employer in ‘Aafat-e-Ishq’. In the poster she stand firmly in an authoritative posture wearing a light coloured salwar suit with a dark coloured shawl and her glasses hanging around her neck in a pearl chain. She is a wealthy woman with a big house that she leaves behind in the name of her maid Lallo. This annoys her relatives who file a case against Lallo. Ila Arun was recently seen in films like ‘Sherni’ and ‘Chhalang’.
Amit Sial
Wearing a printed shirt and white pants, Amit Sial (‘Mirzapur’, ‘A Simple Murder’) is seen sitting sideways on the chair with a rose in his hands and Lallo stands beside him blushing. He will be seen as Prem Gunjan in the film, who is Bahuji’s nephew and a total Casanova who knows his way around woman. Lallo falls in love with him and dreams of a future together. But with the curse looming large will she be able to tell him without hurting him?
