Remake of a very successful Tamil film 'Minnale', Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (RHTDM) stars Miss Asia Pacific Diya Mirza, who is making her film debut and S. Madhavan, the sweet'n'cute TV actor who is known as the 'Hrithik Roshan of Southern film industry'.
RHTDM is produced by noted producer Vasu Bhagnani and directed by Gautam Menon, who also directed the Tamil version of the movie. The film has music by talented southern music director Harish Jairaj.
Talking about the film Director Menon says, "RHTDM is a light-hearted, young, love story set in the backdrop of traditional family values. There is a thin red line between love and hate and the film deals with that phenomenon."
In the film Madhavan plays the role of a mechanical student, who doesn't attend classes, runs after girls and doesn't have any respect for the word love. One fine day he falls in love with Rima - a simple, straightforward, gharelu, working, independent woman. What happens next - he decides Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein.
Talking about the Tamil and Hindi version, Bhagnani says that he insisted from the beginning that RHTDM should look distinctly different from its Tamil version. "That's why instead of repeating the locations where the Tamil version was shot we chose different locales such as Jaipur, Delhi, Ahmedabad, South Africa and New Zealand," the producer says.
For Diya RHTDM is "good fun". The actress elaborates, "It's nice to see beautiful woman clad in chiffon sari but it's difficult to portray, especially when you are doing it in minus 2 degree temperature, but then that's what acting is all about," Diya comments on the shooting schedule on freezing South African locations.
On his part, Madhavan thinks that music is another high point of the film besides the synergy between the actors and people behind the camera. "It takes you a little time to get familiar with the tunes but once you are adjusted with it, the music grows on you," says the actor.
