Actor Prabhakar Srinet is glad that theatres are back on track, and he cannot wait to be back on the stage. “I was the saddest when theatres closed due to the pandemic. Though all the work had slowed down, theatres and stage events were literally shut for months. But now, things are reviving and I am back on the stage. I am an actor who loves dabbling between mediums. I was away from theatre for long but now I am back. For an actor no two mediums are same but no two mediums are different either — so I’m determined not to restrict to one medium ever,” says the Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin and Parathe Wali Gali (2014) actor.

Hailing from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh and armed with a BTech degree, Srinet asserts who starred in the first part, will play the lead role in the sequel, too.

Srinet has wrapped a feature film and is waiting for the shoot of another to start. “My next will be Love You Loktantra with prominent actors and romancing Khurrana on screen. The project goes on the floors in August. “Initially, it was supposed to go on floors in June. But since the movie is being shot in north India, it gets messy during monsoon. But the pre-production will begin in June,” the insider reveals.

We tried reaching out to her, but Prakash remained unavailabl­e for a comment. Shandilya, on the other hand, maintained a “no comments” stance. then I am waiting to begin shooting for another film titled Adhaam. I also completed my first Hindi fictional book, Vicharo ka Behan, which will be published in July.”

The youngster also plans a project to shoot the state he hails from. “I am planning to work on a Bhojpuri project based on my hometown and state. Bhojpuri cinema is a big and thriving industry but still it hasn’t received its due in the world of entertainm­ent. So, a lot needs to be done,” concludes Srinet.
