Sanjay Mishra excited for his two digital film releases on New Year’s Eve
Mumbai– As two of his films – ‘Waah Zindagi and ‘Turtle’ – are releasing on OTT on Friday, actor Sanjay Mishra says it couldn’t have been more exciting than this to end the year with.
Both the films are releasing on ZEE5.
‘Waah Zindagi’ is a slice-of-life story about a fickle boy who is set to redeem his past. Besides being a quirky and unconventional love story, the film is a journey of a destitute farmer’s son struggling hard to become an entrepreneur to win his childhood sweetheart.
‘Turtle’ is inspired by the real story of Ramkaran Choudhary (Bagod) from village Dehlod, Rajasthan. The movie won critical acclaim at various film festivals and also received the award for Best Rajasthani Film at the 66th National Film Awards.
Sanjay is playing a pivotal part in both films.
Talking about the release, the actor said, “I am delighted that two of my special films ‘Turtle’ and ‘Waah Zindagi’ will be premiering on ZEE5. The entire team has put in a lot of hard work and it couldn’t have been released at a better time than the eve of the New Year for the viewers. I am hopeful that people will take away something after watching these films and that they love the way we have presented them.”

Parineeti added: “2021 made me realise that audiences expect me to be clutter-breaking and I couldn’t agree with them more; I am more thankful to them for showering me with all the love for my performances.”

Lara Dutta loved the opportunity of working with Naseeruddin Shah
Mumbai– Actress Lara Dutta is over the moon on sharing the screen with veteran star Naseeruddin Shah in the series ‘Kaun Banegi Shikharwati’. She says the actor was on her wishlist for the longest time ever.
“‘Kaun Banegi Shikharwati’ is an extremely special show. With all the kinds of content that’s now available on OTT platforms, very rarely do you see the content that can be watched and enjoyed by the entire family,” Lara said.
She added: “I think in today’s times, there is content made which caters to different audiences – some of it is edgy, some thriller and some dark. But I think it is important for all of us who’ve kind of grown-up sitting in our homes and watching television together to be able to watch something with our kids and parents and in a way we all are sort of dysfunctional families one way or the other.”
‘Kaun Banegi Shikharwati’ is a dramedy based on the life of a royal king played by Naseeruddin and his dysfunctional family.
Talking about working with the veteran star, Lara said: “I love the characters and I love the opportunity of being able to work with Naseeruddin Shah. Somebody who was on my wishlist for the longest time ever.”
She added: “It was the first time we came together and we had a blast. We were shooting in Mandawa in a bubble and we have spent almost 2 months together which brought all of us very close and which was a very special experience.”
