Amritsar, October 3

Donning a producer’s hat, versatile actor Mahie Gill promoted her upcoming Punjabi film Aatishbaazi Ishq in the city today. The film stars Gill along with Roshan Prince, Ravinder, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, BN Sharma and Tanya Abrol. For her debut as a producer, Gill chose a love story of two sportspersons, out there, fighting to win.

“It’s a love story with lots of drama and thrills. You must have seen a player during his game, winning is his obsession. He will put in all his efforts to win his game. When such a player falls in love, he takes love as his game. He will go to the limits to win his game, win his love. Such obsession, insanity, when tempered with love is what will be seen in Aatishbaazi Ishq, said Gill. “The team made sure that the script is pacy and catchy, so that it stands out from the usual dose of rom-coms we have,” she added. Though she said that she enjoyed being a producer, but it was a learning experience. “It was a very different experience altogether, being the producer as well as the lead female actor of the film. Though I enjoyed both my role, getting things together technically and managing the team made me learn a few things. I hope I am now prepared to do a lot more as far as raising production standards are concerned in the Punjabi film industry,” she said. The film will release on October 14 and is directed by Amit Subhash Dhawan.

Regarding the film, Ravinder, who plays one of the leads in the film, said, Aatishbaazi Ishq is my first Punjabi film and I was very excited about this project. I never felt that I was shooting with this team for the first time. Everyone one on the set was so cooperative and supportive. This film is definitely unique and different so I have set high expectations and I am sure we will be able to meet them.
