Mumbai, Oct 6 (IANS) — Actress and filmmaker Pooja Bhatt took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as she fondly recalled moments from the making of the 2002 musical drama “Sur: The Melody of Life.”
Sharing a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the film on Instagram, Pooja — who co-produced the project — reflected on the experience with warmth and gratitude.
“When the ‘remember this?’ feels joyous, then you know it was a journey where harmony outplayed the cacophony. Found these gems from the making of ‘Sur.’ What a magical time indeed,” she captioned the post, tagging director Tanuja Chandra, producer Marijke Desouza, and actor Lucky Ali.
“Sur: The Melody of Life” — loosely based on the 1992 Telugu film Swati Kiranam, itself inspired by the Oscar-winning Amadeus — follows the story of Vikramaditya, a music teacher who mentors a gifted student, Tina. However, their relationship changes when Tina’s rising fame stirs jealousy in her mentor.
Pooja Bhatt, daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and half-sister of actress Alia Bhatt, began her career with the 1989 TV film Daddy. Her breakthrough came with the romantic comedy Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991), which remains one of her biggest box-office hits.
Throughout the 1990s, she earned acclaim for films such as Sadak, Junoon, Naraaz, Angrakshak, Chaahat, Tamanna, Border, Angaaray, and Zakhm, before taking a hiatus from acting.
Her most recent project is Big Girls Don’t Cry, an English-language coming-of-age series released in 2024. Created by Nitya Mehra and executive produced by Sudhanshu Saria, the series also stars Mukul Chadda, Raima Sen, Zoya Hussain, Avantika, Tenzin Lhakyila, Aneet Padda, Dalai, Vidushi, and Afrah Sayed.
Pooja also participated in the second OTT season of Bigg Boss. The grand finale, held on August 14, 2023, saw Elvish Yadav make history as the first wildcard contestant to win the show, with Abhishek Malhan finishing as runner-up.
