Swanand Kirkire Joins Sooraj Barjatya’s Yeh Prem Mol Liya Starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Sharvari

Filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya is returning to his signature romantic family drama space with Yeh Prem Mol Liya, led by Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari Wagh. Acclaimed lyricist, singer, actor and writer Swanand Kirkire joins the project, adding another known creative voice to the high-profile 2026 release.

The film aims to revisit the traditional relationship-focused storytelling that made Sooraj Barjatya a major influence on Hindi family cinema. Yeh Prem Mol Liya is described by the team as a romance rooted in shared values, everyday emotions and generational bonds, rather than only grand gestures or spectacle-driven drama.

Yeh Prem Mol Liya cast and story

Specifics about Swanand Kirkire's on-screen part remain closely guarded by the makers. People associated with the production indicate that the character is crucial to the plot. The role is said to bring extra emotional depth and nuance to the central narrative of Yeh Prem Mol Liya.

"Working with Sooraj ji feels like coming home to a certain kind of storytelling that shaped many of us as audiences. His films have always celebrated love not just between two people, but within families, across generations, in quiet gestures and unspoken understanding. When I heard the world of Yeh Prem Mol Liya, I was deeply moved by its emotional simplicity and sincerity. What I love about Sooraj ji's writing is that even the silences carry meaning. There is dignity, restraint and warmth in the way he builds relationships on screen. As an actor, that is both challenging and fulfilling because you are required to underplay and yet remain emotionally present."

Yeh Prem Mol Liya production and legacy

"Being part of a Rajshri film carries its own legacy. There's a certain purity and belief in goodness that the banner represents, and to collaborate with a team that values emotional honesty over spectacle is incredibly refreshing. Sharing the screen with Ayushmann and Sharvari has also been a beautiful experience they both bring such individuality and sensitivity to their craft.

Yeh Prem Mol Liya is currently in production, with work progressing as anticipation grows among trade watchers and fans. The film is positioned as one of the most awaited romantic family dramas of 2026, aiming to balance nostalgia for classic Rajshri films with a more current emotional tone.

Industry observers see Yeh Prem Mol Liya as a key release for Sooraj Barjatya, Ayushmann Khurrana, Sharvari Wagh and Swanand Kirkire. With its focus on relationships, intergenerational love and emotional restraint, the film is expected to appeal to viewers who enjoy family-centred Hindi stories grounded in everyday feeling.
