There are people who often say that Tollywood needs to come up with variety and versatile content. But some situations arise where two filmmakers arrive with the same kind of cinema. No one knows this till these films hit the screens hits and the audience find out about it in theatres. Though each director makes it in his own style with different backdrops, different budgets and different styles, the basic concept remains the same. Aadi’s ‘Sukumarudu’ and Nagarjuna’s ‘Greeku Veerudu’ which came out in the same month have a similar storyline.
In the same way, ‘Chandramukhi’ and ‘Aprichitudu’ deal with a split personality disorder. In a similar manner, two films are now dealing with the same concept. Sharwanand’s ‘Oke Oka Jeevitham’ released recently and got a very good response from the critics. It is based on the time travelling concept where three friends go back in time to rectify some mistakes. Without any grandeur and confused screenplay, the director made this film in a clear-cut fashion which impressed everyone.
Now, a big star hero is also dealing with time travel concept. But the scale is huge for this film. Around 500 crores are being spent on this film which is under progress at the moment. Top-class artists and top-notch technicians are brought on board for this project and it will have a pan-Indian release. While it will be having a different backdrop and new scenes, the basic concept remains the same as ‘Oke Oka Jeevitham’ as per reports. Let us wait and see if the big hero impresses with his time travel film like Sharwanand or not.

Sharvari Wagh Immerses Herself in 1940s Role for Main Wapas Aaunga
Becoming completely immersed in a character is one of the most fascinating aspects of acting, especially in period dramas where understanding the lifestyle, emotions, and cultural context of a bygone era becomes essential.
Bollywood filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s upcoming period film “Main Wapas Aaunga” sees actress Sharvari Wagh taking on such a challenging transformation. Set against the backdrop of pre-Partition India, the film features Sharvari as a young woman from the 1940s named “Jiya,” a role that demands a deep emotional and behavioural shift from modern-day sensibilities.
For Sharvari, portraying a character from nearly eight decades ago has been both a challenge and a learning experience. She has spoken about how the silence, restraint, and unspoken emotions of that era played a crucial role in shaping her performance. Unlike today’s fast-paced communication, she noted that people in that time expressed far more through gestures and silence than words.
To authentically embody the character, the team shot extensively in rural locations of Sangrur district in Punjab. The village surroundings helped the actors naturally adapt to the world of the film. During the shoot in a heritage home in Churawal village, Sharvari was particularly moved by a room in the 150-year-old house, which instantly transported her into the past.
During a location recce, she was deeply drawn to a vintage dressing table placed in one of the rooms. So much so that she requested the crew to let her stay in that same room during the shoot instead of moving to a different space. She felt that sitting in front of the antique mirror while getting ready each day helped her mentally step into the 1940s world of her character.
Sharvari even began doing her own makeup while seated at the vintage dressing table every day, a small but meaningful routine that helped her build a stronger emotional connection with “Jiya.”
Her co-star Vedang Raina also adopted a unique approach to prepare for his role. He created a curated playlist of songs from the 1940s to better understand the mood and social atmosphere of that era. Sharvari also mentioned that she listened to similar old classics to ease herself into the emotional world of the film.
Together, the young actors’ immersive preparation methods helped bring authenticity and depth to the period setting, allowing them to connect more naturally with the world of “Main Wapas Aaunga.”
