While looking for greener pastures, most TV actors look towards Bollywood for substantial roles. A few make it in Bollywood, while others return to TV. But Karanvir Bohra, unlike others, is always happy to juggle TV, cinema and theatre.
While looking for greener pastures, most TV actors look towards Bollywood for substantial roles. A few make it in Bollywood, while others return to TV. But Karanvir Bohra, unlike others, is always happy to juggle TV, cinema and theatre.
Presently working on three different mediums — a hit TV show Saubhagyavati Bhava (SB, on Life OK), a Hindi play titled Mareechike and an upcoming 3D film, Mumbai 125 km — Karanvir is now ready to try something new.
Karanvir is producing a romantic Punjabi film called Love You Soniye, which will have him in the lead role. The film will also have his wife Teejay starring opposite him, which is a perfect fit, since Teejay, a VJ-turned-actor, has been doing Punjabi movies and serials for some time now.
“Karanvir is doing a Punjabi film because his wife Teejay wanted to act with him. He has a huge fan following in Punjab and this seemed the right time for a romantic film,” says a source.
The actor-turned-producer realised his popularity when he went location-hunting in Punjab, where more than 1,000 women gathered to get a glimpse of him. Karanvir plans to launch the film in mid-October.
