Will she place herself squarely in the path of danger and abide by Kabir’s wishes? How will Riddhima find a way out of this maze to reconcile with her true love?

Manisha Sharma, Chief Content Officer, Hindi Mass Entertainment, Viacom18, said, “Ishq Mein Marjaawan has been a successful property and we wanted to emulate the success of the show through a new storyline and equally impactful characters.

The show promises dynamic characters, thrill, and many hair-raising moments that will make you rethink the definition of love. We are convinced that viewers will once again fall in love with the characters and enjoy every moment of the suspense-filled journey.”

Mamta Y Patnaik, Producer, Inspire Films said, “We are delighted to be back with Colors to present to our viewers a fresh new romantic thriller. The beauty of the show as it is filled with multiple elements like revenge, mystery, heartbreak, deceit, and much more.

It will test how far can our central characters Riddhima, Kabir, and Vansh can go for love and in doing so, how their lives will get entangled. The story is high on action and therefore we have roped in a great team to direct high octane stunts that will enhance the entertainment quotient of the show.”

HellyShah who plays Riddhima said, “A thriller show was always on my bucket list and with EkBaarPhir… Ishq Mein Marjawan, I am going to strike it off. My character is of a simple orphan girl who is trying to find her footing in Mumbai.

Having craved for love and sense of belonging all her life, Riddhima’s sole dream is to find love and marry the person. Completed besotted by Kabir, Riddhima not only starts falling in love with him but also in his trap that changes her life forever. I hope the audiences like what we have to offer and appreciate our efforts.”

Vishal Vashishtha who plays Kabir said, “EkBaarPhir…Ishq Mein Marjawan is a quintessential love story but with a solid twist. I play the role of a top cop who is on the lookout of Vansh and becomes the bane of Riddhima’s existence. Riddhima is blinded by Kabir’s love and she takes his every spoken word as a command.

The vulnerability of each character in the show makes it a lot more exciting.I’m looking forward to the action packed high octane drama this show will deliver.The overall plotline and the chemistry between the characters will definitely resonate strongly with the audience and I am looking forward to it.”

Rrahul Sudhir who plays VanshRaisinghania said, “Vansh is unlike any character I have ever played before. He is a powerful and smart businessman who lives a life of secrecy and mystery. While playing the role I got to do some amazing stunts like ride a flyboard in Goa and be a part of a high-octane car chase sequence. While there is a lot of action involved, my character also has an emotional side to him. This is a fun role and I am happy to be a part of such an interesting project.”

While the race is on to get back audiences, the launch of Ishq Mein Marjawan is the perfect opportunity to lure them back. Keeping the same in mind, the marketing campaign has been designed to maximize reach through a television plan across network & non-network channels, with genres that have seen an upswing in viewership during the lockdown.

Focusing on the theme of  #PyaarKiHadd, COLORS will also present a series of fun, interactive activities to engage with the viewers on digital platforms. From creating a puzzle that questions whether there is actually a way out of the love conundrum, to exploring the other side of love with the help of love experts, the channel will delve deep into the subject.

An interactive 360 darkroom experience will also be created on Instagram, where viewers can tap on the stories to explore the room and find various hidden symbols that tells them more about the characters. Additionally, a #PyaarKiKeemat love survey will ask India, what they believe is the thin line between what’s right and what’s not in a romantic relationship.
