Known for his remarkable performances in acclaimed projects like Mirzapur, Priyanshu Painyuli is gearing up for a brand new cinematic venture. He will soon star in the upcoming Hindi short film titled Kis Ka Kissa. Adding a special charm to the project, Priyanshu will be joined by his real-life wife and actress Vandana Joshi in the lead role. Bringing a real-life couple together on screen is expected to infuse a natural warmth into the narrative. Landmark Entertainment, headed by filmmaker Vidhika Kasliwal, has officially announced the project, generating considerable excitement among fans.
A Simple Romance Set Against Mumbai's Hustle
Set against the bustling and fast-paced backdrop of Mumbai, the film explores the tender and delicate romantic dreams that people cherish from their younger days, alongside the moments that sometimes remain unfulfilled. Rather than relying on grand and theatrical romantic gestures, the emotional core of the story stems from everyday situations. At its heart, Kis Ka Kissa celebrates the effortless nature of love and the tiny, passing moments that draw two people closer together in an unforgiving urban landscape.
Vidhika Kasliwal on the Simplicity of the Story
Producer Vidhika Kasliwal shared that what initially drew her to the project was its profound simplicity. She noted that while romance in cinema is frequently associated with grand gestures, the deepest emotions are often hidden within the smallest moments. In a city that never slows down, watching two individuals attempt to carve out a little space for themselves feels relatable and heartwarming. Landmark Entertainment has always believed that stories do not need to be larger than life to touch hearts; they simply need to feel true to human experience.
Director Ashish Sharma Shares His Inspiration
Writer and director Ashish Sharma explained that he wanted to bring this story to life for two primary reasons. The first was the nostalgia of those small romantic dreams from youth, and the second was the pure joy of telling a simple, comforting story. Amidst the chaotic hustle of Mumbai, the film examines how privacy can often feel like a luxury, turning even the most ordinary romantic gestures into unexpected adventures as life moves forward.
Bringing Smiles to Audiences
The director expressed his desire for the humor in the film to emerge naturally from ordinary, day-to-day situations. Fundamentally, the movie celebrates love, the innocence of youth, and the unpredictable adventures of life. He hopes the film leaves audiences with a warm smile and perhaps reminds them of their own unfinished romantic chapters from the past.
Creative Crew and Release Date
The visual storytelling of the project has been shaped by producer and creative visionary Vidhika Kasliwal, with debutant director Ashish Sharma at the helm. Aarti Bagdi serves as the creative producer, while Sarthak Kakkar has composed the music, lyrics, and background score. KR Mahadeven (Mohan) has taken on the role of executive producer. The film is officially slated to hit screens on October 22, 2026.
