Mohit Malik is making a comeback on television with a rom-com, Lockdown ki Lovestory. The show is entirely different from Kulfi Kumar Bajewala and people are excited to see him in the new role. The actor has done a lot of labour to get a right Prayagraj accent and is working with Sana Sayyad for the first time. Sana Sayyad will be portraying the role of Sonam, the girl who loves Mohit’s character Dhruv.
The actor shared his experience about the accent he has spoken in the serial as “Allahabadi was not a new dialect for me. I was aware of it but I decided to learn the nuances and the diction to get a perfect grasp over the same. My character in the show speaks Allahaabdi dialect since he is based out of Prayagraj. When this role was offered to me, we were in the lockdown phase and I utilized that time to sharpen my hold over this particular dialect. Even when we used to do workshops with our scriptwriters, I spent extra time with them to understand the tone and tonality of the dialect/language. A lot of the time during rehearsals, I was able to figure it out together with the writers. Whenever we feel there is a need for it, we try and tone down the dialogues so that the essence is conveyed without going overboard.”
The show has many famous faces like Ananya Khare, Nazea Hasan, Rakesh Kukreti, Kashish Duggal, Deepika Upadhyay, Jayati Bhatia, Vijay Tyagi and Ashutosh Tiwari in important roles. All actors are returning to the small screen after a very long time and it will be interesting to see how the story opens up and wins the viewer’s hearts. The show will be airing on 31st August at 7 p.m.
