Dupahiya, directed by Sonam Nair, released on Amazon Prime this Friday. The series boasts of a strong star cast, including Gajraj Rao, Renuka Shahane, Sparsh Srivastava, and others. Sonam said she was never afraid of her show being compared to the popular Panchayat franchise. She also revealed how she chose Sparsh for the role of Bhugol, the bride’s younger brother who aspires to be a Bollywood star and tags along with his sister to Mumbai after her wedding. She said that she gave Sparsh CDs of veteran actor Govinda from his very early movies like Love 86 and Disco Dancer as a reference point for the part, which, according to her, he nailed to perfection. She further disclosed that Renuka had to put in the most effort to improve her dialect because she was under additional pressure because her husband and seasoned actor Ashutosh Rana is from this area. \”I’m constantly glued to my phone. Messages are pouring in on Twitter, Instagram, and even old neighbors from 30 years ago are sending me messages. It’s all very overwhelming, but I’m also incredibly happy,\” she said.
