Lifestyle creators Aashi Sahni and Hardik Banga in collaboration with photographer Joey, have unveiled a breathtaking recreation of the iconic 2016 film ‘Fitoor’s romantic scenes, set against the stunning backdrop of Kashmir. Following in the footsteps of Katrina Kaif and Aditya Roy Kapoor, the young digital influencers revisited the original filming locations, breathing a fresh perspective into the film’s visually captivating narrative.
The resulting photographs capture the ethereal beauty of Kashmir, paying homage to the film's distinctive aesthetic while offering a fresh, contemporary interpretation. Sahni's project is not simply a recreation; it’s a rediscovery, a testament to the enduring magic of Kashmir and the timeless appeal of cinematic romance.
Aashi Sahni states, “As a creator, I’ve always been captivated by the magic of Bollywood. Recreating these scenes, feeling the winter chill and witnessing the light play on Dal Lake, was a surreal experience. Every scene tells a cinematic story of rediscovery, paying a celebratory ode to how Fitoor captured Kashmir’s ethereal beauty."
Hardik Banga states, “Recreating Fitoor in Kashmir was a dream come true. The collaboration with Aashi and Joey resulted in something truly special."
This project serves as a celebration of ‘Fitoor's artistic legacy while showcasing Kashmir's enduring allure as a muse for creative expression. It builds on Aashi Sahni and Banga’s previous successful recreations of scenes from Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Laila Majnu’ and the iconic Shahrukh Khan starrer Alka Yagnik song ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon’.
