Tahir Raj Bhasin, known for his role in Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, and Mithila Palkar, celebrated for her performance in Little Things, take on the roles of star-crossed lovers in the upcoming Sony MAX original show, Saale Aashiq. The series is set to premiere on February 1 at 8 PM.
The show creators introduced the trailer on social media with the tagline,
“Romeo-Juliet, Heer-Ranjha, Laila-Majnu yaad hai na? Ye bhi yaad rahega” (If you remember the stories of Romeo-Juliet, Heer-Ranjha, and Laila-Majnu, you will remember this too).
In the two-minute-long trailer, Tahir’s character, Shatru, and Mithila’s Gudia experience the euphoria of first love, only to find their bond tested by a tyrannical community leader who opposes love. As the couple faces life-threatening challenges, they make a desperate attempt to seek asylum in a prison to escape their attackers.
The series, directed by Siddharth Singh and Garima Wahal, promises a gripping tale of love, resilience, and rebellion.
On the professional front, Mithila Palkar was last seen in the Telugu film Ori Devuda alongside Vishwak Sen and Asha Bhat. Meanwhile, Tahir Raj Bhasin recently reprised his role in Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein Season 2, which premiered on Netflix on November 22.
