Lagan Lagi Re Set to Warm Hearts This Valentine Season
The upcoming romantic film Lagan Lagi Re promises to deliver warmth and tenderness just in time for Valentine's season. Following their successful collaboration in Aum Mangalam Singlem, the real-life couple Aarohi and Tatsat reunite with co-star Malhar Thakar under the direction of Sandeep Patel, who is renowned for infusing his projects with genuine emotional depth.
Character Revelations and On-Set Chemistry
In an exclusive interview with Divya Bhaskar, the trio shared intimate details about their roles and the filming experience. Tatsat portrays Sahil, a model-actor whose career ambitions create turbulence in his personal life. "It will be interesting to see how this ambition brings ups and downs," he explained.
Aarohi described her character Kavya as a stubborn, universe-believing young woman who seeks scientific explanations for everything. "Her stubbornness creates many messes in her life," Aarohi revealed, highlighting the character's complex nature.
Malhar takes on the role of Kartik, an innocent and honest individual who prioritizes relationships above all else. "He has a lot of humor in him and brings smiles to people's faces with his fun nature," Malhar shared about his character's cheerful disposition.
Father-Daughter Dynamics on Set
The film holds special significance for Aarohi, whose father Sandeep Patel serves as director. When questioned about potential preferential treatment, Aarohi laughed heartily, stating, "Too much! Even on set, his father mode is always ON. Even if someone else makes a mistake, the yelling still happens with my name!"
To ensure authentic performances, the cast engaged in extensive workshops and rehearsals. Tatsat admitted initial apprehension about understanding his role but found the process smoother than anticipated. "With a director like Sandeep sir, it didn't feel as difficult as I thought," he confessed.
Behind-the-Scenes Camaraderie and Challenges
The trio's off-screen friendship translated into lively on-set dynamics. Malhar humorously noted, "When the three of us are together, we create too much chaos, but Aarohi is the biggest troublemaker. She eats our brains." Aarohi countered with equal humor, claiming the two men frequently teamed up to trouble her.
Filming presented physical challenges as well, with Malhar recalling shooting in 45-degree heat where cast members supported each other by sharing water between takes. Tatsat grew emotional reflecting on their evolving bond: "Our friendship started from 'Om Mangalam Singalem', and today, by the time we reached Lagan Lagi Re, our bond had turned into a family."
Musical Elements and Personal Connections
The film's song Baby Bewafa has already gained significant traction. Malhar expressed admiration for the musical collaboration, noting, "When I met him on set, it didn't feel like we were working together for the first time." Tatsat credited Jigneshbhai with contributing to the trending hook steps.
Aarohi and Tatsat's real-life relationship added another layer to the production. Aarohi revealed, "The shooting happened before our wedding, and now the release is happening. But yes, we were already sure about each other!" Malhar observed how their comfort level had evolved: "Earlier it felt like a set; now it feels like home for them."
Tatsat shared an amusing anecdote about his in-laws' dual roles on set: "Sandeep sir and Aarti ma'am were very professional during filming. But the moment lunch or dinner break happened, suddenly their 'jamai mode' would turn on, and they would treat me like a son-in-law!"
Anticipation Builds for February 2026 Release
With the film scheduled for release on February 6, 2026, expectations are running high among audiences and industry observers alike. The combination of proven chemistry between the lead actors, Sandeep Patel's directorial expertise, and heartfelt storytelling positions Lagan Lagi Re as a potential standout in the romantic film genre.
Malhar Thakar also offered a brief glimpse into his next project 3 Ekka, indicating continued momentum in his acting career following this Valentine season release.
