The world of Indian cinema is gearing up for a dose of unfiltered, imperfect love with the announcement of ‘Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain’. The upcoming romantic-comedy will be headlined by the highly relatable actor Jitendra Kumar, famed for his roles in Panchayat and Kota Factory, alongside debutante actress Mahvash (best known as RJ Mahvash). The project has instantly captured attention as it will be presented by celebrated choreographer-filmmaker Remo D’Souza.
Described as a quirky and humorous take on romance where “madness leads the way” and “imperfection becomes a virtue,” the film promises to be a refreshing departure from conventional love stories. The production house confirmed that the music for this heartfelt comedy will be scored by the National Award-winning legendary composer, Ismail Darbar.
Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain boasts a seasoned and diverse creative team, ensuring a unique cinematic flavour:
- Presented By Remo D’Souza: Known for his successful dance-based films and heartfelt narratives, D’Souza’s backing signals a strong commitment to both commercial appeal and grounded storytelling. D’Souza stated that the film “celebrates imperfection,” adding, “It’s about finding your kind of crazy in someone else, and having a relatable and bankable actor like Jitendra Kumar on board ensures the film will strike a chord with the audience.”
- Directed by Jayesh Pradhaan: Taking the director’s chair is Jayesh Pradhaan, a veteran choreographer known for his work on massive films like Enthiran and Kai Po Che. Pradhaan’s transition to direction suggests the film will possess a visually dynamic and rhythmic quality.
- Written by Pradeep Singh: The screenplay, penned by Pradeep Singh, focuses on the charm of flawed yet authentic relationships, promising dialogue that is real, humorous, and relatable to modern audiences.
- Music by Ismail Darbar: The inclusion of the legendary Ismail Darbar (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas) guarantees a soulful and memorable soundtrack, blending classic melodic sensibilities with the film’s quirky contemporary theme.
The film is being produced by Ishan Shilpi Verma, Vishal Tyagi, and Anwar Ali Khan in association with Kuree Studio and Shaisha Motion Pictures.
The casting of Jitendra Kumar and Mahvash has been widely praised for its ability to reflect the film’s theme of everyday relatability.
- Jitendra Kumar steps into the lead role, playing a character who is “wonderfully flawed and real.” The actor, whose portrayal of characters often balances vulnerability with earnest humour, expressed how deeply the story resonated with him. “The title itself, ‘Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain,’ perfectly captures the spirit of true, unfiltered love,” Kumar said in a statement, emphasizing that the film “will resonate with anyone who understands that the most beautiful relationships are often the most imperfect ones.” Kumar is reportedly playing the role of Gulab Hakeem.
- Mahvash, making her highly anticipated Bollywood debut, brings a fresh face and raw energy to the female lead. Best known as a popular radio jockey, she was immediately drawn to the story’s honesty. “This isn’t just a love story; it’s a wonderfully chaotic story! What drew me in was how real and imperfect the characters are—they feel like people you genuinely know,” Mahvash shared, eagerly anticipating the audience’s reaction to the “beautiful madness” of the film. Mahvash will reportedly be portraying the character Nagma.
The chemistry between the two leads is expected to be the centerpiece of this romantic comedy, showcasing the delightful chaos that ensues when two imperfect individuals find their perfect rhythm together.
The team behind Tedhi Hain Par Meri Hain aims to deliver a cinematic treat that finds humour and heart in the messiness of modern relationships. The project’s philosophy, championed by Remo D’Souza, is that perfection takes a backseat, allowing the honest, quirky aspects of love to shine.
With its strong creative backing, a highly bankable and relatable lead actor, and the promise of a nostalgic yet contemporary soundtrack, the film is poised to capture the attention of audiences seeking grounded yet spirited narratives that celebrate love, flaws and all.
