Writer-director Gitanjalli Aran has shared her experience of working with Sanjay Mishra, Farida Jalal and Alka Amin for her next movie Karmaa meets Kismet, which is currently under post-production.

“I feel immensely nourished. Be it the passion of Sanjay ji or the detailing of Alka Amin ji, every moment spent with them made me evolve not only as a filmmaker but also as a human,” she said.

“I grew up watching Farida Jalal ji as a child and when I got the opportunity to work with her I witnessed what truly being humble means. Her humility touched me beyond words. I learnt a lot about acting which helped me become a better director,” she added.

On his part, Sanjay expressed hope that the film would strike a chord with the audience. “When the role was offered to me, it really intrigued me — I was moved by the story. It has been an exciting journey shooting for this film. Hope everyone will love it,” he said.

Gitanjalli, known for helming Yeh Khula Aasmaan, also spoke about the upcoming film. “Karmaa Meets Kismet is a musical tale of love that explores the interconnected themes of karma and destiny. It deals with the immense power that lies in our conscious actions. If you have ever left your path believing that it’s not in your destiny, then Karmaa meets Kismet is meant for you.” she said.

Sharing how the whole idea of the film came up, Gitanjali said she was deeply impacted to see people giving up on their dreams believing that is not in their stars. “Their suffering prompted me to come up with a fresh perspective that would give them the strength to move on and live the life of their dreams. Through my story I aim to explore these profound themes while offering a glimpse into the transformative power of love and compassion. Karmaa meets Kismet is a soul-searching voyage, a journey of self-discovery.”
