Production designer Muneesh Sappel has said the sets he has created of different eras for Kunal Kohli's upcoming film 'Teri Meri Kahani' are authentic and built up after a lot of research.
-
-
Kohli's Teri Meri Kahaani, featuring Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, depicts three eras of love stories set in 1910, 1960 and 2012.
-
-
The team had to create all the three eras and ensure that they look authentic.
-
-
The 1910 era will have Punjab, the 1960 story is set in Mumbai and 2012 in England.
-
-
In 'Teri Meri Kahani', the first story is set in Lahore in 1910 where Priyanka plays a Punjabi girl - Aradhana, in love with a Muslim boy Javed, played by Shahid.
-
-
In the 1960 story, Shahid plays a struggling music director Govind and Priyanka is a famous actress Rukhsar and they once again fall in love in Mumbai.
-
-
In 2012, the couple falls in love again as Radha and Krish in England.
-
-
In 1960 (Mumbai), the team has shown trams, chawl, guest houses, old studios and old cinema houses. Creating Mumbai took more time. In 2012 one would see modern times with ancient style of architecture.

Director Kunal Kohli, whose upcoming project 'Teri Meri Kahaani' stars Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, says he roped in the two actors as it was high time they were cast together in a romantic film.
-
-
Priyanka hasn't done too many love stories, especially a film like 'Teri Meri Kahaani' which is an out and out romantic entertainer.
-
-
The 'Hum Tum' director said that in spirit and heart, 'Teri Meri Kahaani' follows the kind of romantic rendezvous that veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra have been known for.
-
-
With the promos and songs of 'Teri Meri Kahaani' fetching good response, the filmmaker feels that credit also goes to the crackling chemistry between Shahid and Priyanka.
-
-
The film is set in three different time periods and Kunal says Shahid is getting into an altogether different mode with it.
-
-
Shahid is playing three different roles in the film across eras and that is something that he has never done before.
-
-
He is playing a strong Muslim character Javed which is a first for him.
-
-
Then he has never enacted a cool trendy character from the current era in a manner as shown in the film.
-
-
Getting into a 60s mode is not something that many actors of today's generation can boast of.
-
-
All of this brings uniqueness to the film because whenever Shahid has done something different, it has been grabbed by the audience with both hands," said Kunal.
-
-
Referring to films like 'Vivaah', 'Jab We Met' and 'Kaminey', each of which is considered as a landmark film in Shahid's career, Kunal says that the trend would continue with 'Teri Meri Kahaani' as well.
-
-
Now that the film is ready to be release in a month's time, Kunal is not shying away from declaring that 'Teri Meri Kahaani' is nothing short of being path breaking.
-
-
This is the first time that a narrative like this has been adapted for a film. It is a path breaking film in all senses.
-
-
Also starring Neha Sharma and Prachi Desai, 'Teri Meri Kahaani', with music by Sajid-Wajid, releases all over on June 22.
