“Sanjay Leela Bhansali Instantly Felt...” Reveals Source While Sharing How Do Deewane Seher Mein Came To Life

Zee Studios and Bhansali Productions' Do Deewane Seher Mein has been building anticipation ever since the makers have released the teaser and songs from the film. The team has also been sharing videos of the film's lead cast Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi and their unmissable chemistry.

According to a source close to the development, the project found its emotional anchor the very first time writer Abhiruchi narrated the story to Bhansali. "When Abhiruchi narrated the story to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, he instantly said he felt a deep connection with both Rosni and Sasank and knew this was a story that had to be brought to life. From that moment on, the journey of finding and finally choosing the two of them became a significant and memorable process in itself," the source reveals.

Known for his operatic storytelling and layered character arcs, the filmmaker reportedly invested considerable time in ensuring Rosni and Sasank played by Mrunal and Siddhant were cast with actors who could embody both vulnerability and intensity.

The eventual casting of Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi is being seen as a deliberate and carefully calibrated decision. Early glimpses from the film and their bond in the videos that have gone viral have already sparked conversations about their chemistry and the tonal depth of the narrative.

With its promise of pure, happy, soulful romance, this film isn't just a love story, it's a gentle reminder of why we fall in love with love in the first place. Directed by Ravi Udyawar, the film releases in theatres on February 20, 2026.
