Aarya
Is
Based
On
Dutch
Show
Penoza
Madhvani
also
revealed
that
Aarya
is
a
remake
of
the
Dutch
show
Penoza
(2010)
and
it
took
him
nine
years
to
fit
it
in
an
Indian
setting.
"I
wanted
to
adapt
the
great
story
and
strong
characters
of
Penoza.
It
took
me
a
long
time
to
figure
out
how
to
adapt
to
an
Indian
story.
It's
like
adapting
Shakesphere
you
take
the
story
and
adapt
it
to
your
surrounding."

On
Sushmita
Sen's
Return
To
Set
Revealing
how
the
leading
star
Sushmita
Sen
came
on
board
with
the
project,
Ram
said
that
he
is
thankful
for
her
excitement
for
the
show.
"I
had
just
shared
the
story
with
Sushmita,
and
she
said
he
had
liked
Neerja
and
trusts
in
the
kind
of
work
I
did.
She
was
just
so
excited
after
listening
to
Aarya's
story.
Sushmita
was
very
motivated
to
work
on
the
project
and
she
said,
'I
have
been
waiting
for
something
like
this
for
ten
years.'
She
was
like
a
child,
and
said
she
wants
to
do
the
show
and
will
do
it.
I
was
just
so
happy
for
the
motivation
and
enthusiasm.
She
is
a
true
star,
and
I
have
worked
with
her
before
and
was
so
happy
when
she
said
yes
to
Aarya."
Sushmita
Sen
Is
A
Star:
Ram
Madhavani
Sushmita
Sen,
last
seen
in
Anil
Kapoor-starrer
No
Problem
in
2010,
is
making
her
digital
debut
with
Aarya
and
returning
to
screen
after
a
decade.
When
asked
about
her
return
on
sets,
Madhvani
revealed
that
he
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
actress
to
work
with.
"She
(Sushmita)
is
always
on
time.
As
a
mother,
she
has
other
responsibilities
so
when
she
comes
on
set
she
is
there
for
you
and
gives
you
her
time
and
is
very
focused.
She
knows
how
to
work
with
a
camera,
she
has
done
all
of
it
before.
The
best
thing
about
having
her
on
set
was
that
she
embraced
my
filming
process,
to
unravel
and
make
it
look
real
on-screen.
For
the
first
time,
she
also
did
acting
workshops
with
the
other
directors
(Sandeep
Modi,
Vinod
Rawat)
and
with
me.
She
was
fantastic
I
couldn't
have
asked
for
anyone
better,"
said
Ram.
