Music, dance and a celebratory mood seem to be dominating the sets of Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani’s Satyaprem Ki Katha. Director Sameer Vidwans completed shooting the talkie portions of the romantic drama by March-end, lining up four songs to be filmed by May. While a romantic ballad was canned in Kashmir earlier this month, mid-day has now learnt that the actors shot for two garba numbers back-to-back at the Royal Gold Studio in Goregaon this week.
Sources tell us that the dance tracks are set a year apart in the narrative, with the first serving as the leads’ meet-cute. “In the first song, Kartik’s character Prem, who is a Gujarati boy, meets Kiara’s Satya for the first time at the garba, and falls in love with her. The second track is set a year later during the festivities, and sees Kartik’s character return to the same ground for nine nights, hoping to meet his ladylove, but he is conspicuous by her absence. Both have been designed as vibrant, colourful tracks with choreography by Vijay Ganguly. The unit wrapped up the second song yesterday,” reveals a source.
Clear that the two numbers had to look visually distinct despite their common theme, producer Sajid Nadiadwala and the director had separate sets built at the Goregaon studio. The source adds that production designer Rajat Poddar referenced the work of some event management companies that put together garba nights. “Along with DoP Manu Anand, he made sure that the two set-ups had nothing in common.
Kartik and Kiara were busy shooting for the romantic saga. Now, Kiara Advani took to her Instagram account to announce the wrap-up of the film, while also sharing pictures from a small celebration on the sets. Kiara Advani shared a series of pictures on Instagram, as she announced the wrap of Satyaprem Ki Katha. She wrote, “And it’s a film wrap for Katha #SatyapremkiKatha A film very close to my heart, a journey I will never forget, an experience I will cherish forever. Fortunate to have worked with the most passionate cast and crew who have put their heart and soul into our film. I’ve made new friends on this journey who I will love and value forever.”
While the unit was canning the romantic track in Kashmir, the production design team was building the sets in Mumbai, thus saving on time. Kartik has danced his heart out in these tracks, composed by Meet Brothers.” Now, the final song, which serves as Aaryan’s introductory piece in the film, remains to be shot.

Deepika Padukone Or Katrina Kaif Opposite Kartik Aaryan In Aashiqui 3?
Now that the future of Aashiqui 3 is secured and it’s been clearly stated that the film starts shooting from December, the big question hovering over the project is, who will play the female lead?
Several top-notch names are under serious consideration. But the chosen heroine may finally be either Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif. A source close to the developments says, “It won’t be any of the heroines Kartik has already worked with. And it won’t be a newcomer as the female lead’s role is a complex role.”
Deepika and Kartik have expressed a desire to work together on multiple occasions. On the other hand Aashiqui 3’s director Anurag Basu has worked with Katrina before in Barfi, and is keen to work with her again.
