The unit of Shakuntalam Telefilms show- Na Aana Is Desh Laado is enjoying an outdoor shoot in a village near Goregaon east. The story currently revolves around a widow named Sunita, who is suspected of being a daayan in the village. The unit is there to shoot for this particular sequence.
“We needed to shoot in a village, and this village was ideal and also it suited our requirements”, says the creative of the show.
The cast is also having a great fun shooting there.
“It’s a beautiful village located away from Mumbai’s hurly burly life. It is surrounded by hills and there’s a lot of greenery. The atmosphere and the scenic beauty are simply enchanting. It’s always fun to shoot outdoors”, says Meghna Malik who plays Ammaji in the show.
The villagers are also having a great time!
“The villagers are so excited to watch the shoot. I am enjoying the warmth of these people out here. And above all, I am happy that they recognize me as Ammaji.”
The villagers have not only welcomed them, but also showered them with lots of affection. Meghna narrates one such incidence, which touched her.
“Few days back, a group of 20-25 children approached me. They imitated me, delivered my dialogues and copied my gestures. I was more than happy to see how religiously these kids follow Laado. Some villagers also invited me to their home for lunch, but due to work pressure, I didn’t get the chance to visit,” she concludes.
Looks like the unit is not only enjoying the location, but also the love of the villagers.
