Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao’s hit Vivah was released 14 years ago on this date. The film, one of director Sooraj Barjatya’s family entertainers, opened in theatres on November 10 in 2006. Celebrating the success of the film on social media on Tuesday, Amrita Rao posted a throwback photo from the “last day of shoot.” The vintage picture also features Shahid Kapoor, Sooraj Barjatya, director Siddharth Malhotra and Vidhi Kasliwal, who was associated with Sooraj Barjatya’s Rajshri Films for several years. Sharing the photo, Amrita Rao wrote: “A film that continues to become the darling of the nation. Thank you, Sooraj ji. There are films and then there are Rajshri Films! Rajshri Films, you continue to celebrate Indian traditions and emotions like no one else.”
“I remember this day was the last day of shoot… We shot at a waterfall in Lonavala…I was all of 19 and totally surrendered in good faith of my most wonderful director Sooraj Barjatya …No one like him! I knew this was a big film but that it would reach this far in the hearts of the audience comes as a wonderful blessing,” she added.
