Mumbai, Feb 20: National award-winning lyricist and actor Swanand Kirkire is all set to feature in Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming romantic family drama Yeh Prem Mol Liya, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari. Kirkire described the experience as both enjoyable and heartwarming, praising his co-stars as “incredibly talented.”

“Being on a Rajshri set feels like being part of a family,” he shared. “Ayushmann is a grounded actor and a joy to work with, while Sharvari brings such vibrant energy to every scene. Collaborating with them has been a truly positive experience.”

Kirkire highlighted the appeal of working on a film designed for family audiences. “The best part is being part of a story that the whole family can enjoy together. Rajshri and Sooraj Barjatya have always created cinema that brings families to theatres.”

Reflecting on the legacy of the production house, he said, “Rajshri represents a purity and belief in goodness that values emotional honesty over spectacle. Working with a team that shares that ethos is incredibly refreshing.” He also noted how his co-stars’ individuality and sensitivity enrich the film: “Ayushmann and Sharvari bring depth and nuance to their craft, which makes every moment on set meaningful.”

Speaking about Barjatya’s storytelling, Kirkire added, “Working with him feels like coming home. His films celebrate love not only between two people but across families and generations, through quiet gestures and unspoken understanding. The emotional simplicity of Yeh Prem Mol Liya moved me deeply.”

He also praised Barjatya’s subtle direction: “What I love is how even silences carry meaning. There is dignity, restraint, and warmth in the way relationships are portrayed. As an actor, it’s a challenge to underplay emotions while remaining fully present, and that’s what makes the work so fulfilling.”
