If you thought that ‘Ishq Forever’, which released today, is a love story about a couple, let us inform you that the film actually deals with the love story of two different pairs.
On one hand, the film revolves around the romance between Aryan Shekawat (Krishna Chaturvedi) and Rhea (Ruhi Singh), while on the other hand, the film also deals with the dynamics between Amitabh (Jaaved Jaaferi) and Naina Saxena (Lisa Ray).
Talking about his pairing with Lisa Ray, Jaaved said, “The comic element comes from the fact that a Raw agent has to work with his ex-wife and their cynicism about their failed relationship comes across as a foil to the mushy romance between Krishna and Ruhi.”
Directed by Sameer Sippy and produced by Ajay Shah, Himanshu Gandhi and Shabeer Boxwala under their banner Friday Cine Entertainment, ‘Ishq Forever’ is slated to release on February 19.

Model Krishna Chaturvedi, who will be making his Bollywood debut with ‘Ishq Forever’ opposite Ruhi Singh, reportedly ended up needing 33 retakes for a kissing scene and Krishna finally spilled the beans on the reason behind the retakes.
Elaborating on the same, Krishna said, “It wasn’t a deliberate decision to have so many retakes. Actually, what happened was that we were shooting on a rough terrain and the light wasn’t conducive for a perfect shot, so we ended up taking 33 retakes.” Krishna added that he was slightly nervous initially, but grew comfortable once the shoot started.
Directed by Sameer Sippy and produced by Ajay Shah, Himanshu Gandhi and Shabeer Boxwala under their banner Friday Cine Entertainment, ‘Ishq Forever’, which also stars Lisa Ray and Jaaved Jaaferi, is slated to release on February 19.

Producers Shabeer Boxwala, Ajay Shah and Himanshu Gandhi are coming together to produce ‘Ishq Forever’ under their banner Friday Cine Entertainment and Shabeer promises a love story with a few twists and turns.
Elaborating on the same, Shabeer said, “We decided to make Ishq Forever as we felt that since a long time, a pure love story that can be watched with the entire family has not been made in a long time. However, I must add that Ishq Forever is not a typical love story and has enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.”
Another reason why Ishq Forever is much talked about is because it marks the comeback of legendary composer Nadeem Saifi. Interestingly, it was Nadeem, who suggested that the makers should cast newcomers in the film.

Actress Ruhi Singh, who will be next seen romancing newbie Krishna Chaturvedi in upcoming rom-adventure ‘Ishq Forever’, had quite a tough time shooting for the film due to extreme weather conditions and Ruhi recently shared an amusing anecdote about one of her experiences while shooting a song.
The former beauty queen said with a chuckle, “I remember we were shooting for this song ‘mere ankhon se nikle aansoo’ and I actually had tears in my eyes while shooting this track. Not because it was an emotional moment, but because we were shooting in a place that was hit by a sandstorm and the sand kept hurting our eyes. However, despite this, we were required to give the necessary expressions without blinking and this made us quite teary-eyed!”
‘Ishq Forever’ has been directed by Sameer Sippy and produced by Ajay Shah, Harry Gandhi and Shabeer Boxwala under their banner Friday Cine Entertainment.

Legendary composer Nadeem Saifi will be seen making his comeback to Bollywood with upcoming rom-com Ishq Forever and though the composer is glad about the comeback, he also seems quite disappointed with the way Bollywood music is getting influenced by the West.
Elaborating on the same, Nadeem said, “As far as music is concerned, we are completely influenced by the West and there is just a lot of noise in music today. Most of the songs made today lack melody and soul and though there have been a few good numbers, they are far and few. I would request composers and lyricists to bring back our Indian flavor in their work. My song ‘Dheere Dheere’ has been remade and is cherished even today, which proves that today’s youngsters still enjoy melody and soulful lyrics. I would love it when Western music gets influenced by us and not the other way round.

Actress Ruhi Singh, who will be next seen in upcoming rom-com Ishq Forever, makes her entry with the song ‘Expectations’, a peppy number about today’s youth and their issues.
Reportedly, a part of song was shot at the University of Western Cape, but what was surprising about this was that the song was shot when the University was the venue of an exam! Producer Shabeer Boxwala confirms the same and adds, “Expectation was very different song because we shot in the actual university during exam period. We had to keep the volumes low of the speakers, but still since it’s a Bollywood Film, all the eyes were on our cast and crew and we had some of the professors of the University to shake a leg with us.

In an interview, Krishna said, “The locations look beautiful in the film, but we had a tough time in South Africa as we were shooting there in winter and the extreme cold and the windy atmosphere made our work more challenging. There was this song, for which I had to enter a lake, which had ice-cold water and me and Ruhi used to literally shiver with cold while trying to give the right expression.” Ishq Forever has been directed by Sameer Sippy and produced by Ajay Shah, Harry Gandhi and Shabeer Boxwala under their banner FridayCine Entertainment.
