Bollywood actor Rohit Saraf will be playing one of the leads in Ishq Vishk Rebound. Set to release on June 21, the film is the second film in the franchise started by Shahid Kapoor starrer ‘Ishq Vishk’ in 2003. With this, the actor will be stepping into the shoes of Shahid for his part in the upcoming film. Shahid became an instant chocolate boy after the film’s release and his performance is often revisited by fans. Filling his shoes comes with a great responsibility for Rohit. However, Rohit told News18 Showsha exclusively he isn’t affected by the pressure that comes with the role.
The actor, who made his debut with the 2016 Alia Bhatt starrer Dear Zindagi shared, “More than pressure, there’s a lot of gratitude. Because I feel like this is an opportunity not many people get and I don’t want to dilute that by putting that kind of pressure on myself. Sab itna aapass mein pressure bolte rehte hai, I feel like I should start taking pressure because in all honesty, abhi tak I wasn’t taking any; it’s not like a remake of the first Ishq Vishk, it’s not a sequel of the first Ishq Vishk. The only thing that is common between the two films is that they belong to the same franchise. It’s a new story altogether. It’s a love story about Gen Z, what they go through, and it is kinda exciting.”
He added, “But I feel ever since I’ve scrolled social media during the teaser announcement of it, everyone’s [speaking about the pressure] Now I will begin to feel some amount of pressure (laughs).”
“So far there has been an insane amount of gratitude to the Universe, to the producers. And yeah, I am very very happy to doing this,” Rohit admitted.
When asked if he has had the chance to speak with Shahid Kapoor, he shared, “I actually haven’t had the chance to speak with Shahid. But I would love to. So, if Shahid Sir, if you are watching this, I’m gonna wait for the day, I get to speak with you, because I just wanna say thank you.”
Apart from Rohit Saraf, Ishq Vishk Rebound also marks the debut of Hrithik Roshan’s cousin sister Pashmina Roshan. Jibraan Khan and Naila Grrewal also play titular roles in the film. The film’s story revolves around modern love, relationships, and friendships.
Ishq Vishk Rebound has been produced by Ramesh Taurani and Jaya Taurani’s Tips Films. Helmed by Nipun Avinash Dharmadhikari, the film is all set to hit the theatres on 21 June 2024.
