She also said that she cast lead actor Pulkit Samrat as she saw a certain sadness in his eyes.

The chemistry between Pulkit and Yami is being appreciated and has even sparked link up rumours. But the director takes credit for their chemistry.

“There are numerous factors behind the chemistry, like the manner in which I decorate the frames like a painting, which makes a contribution as well as the atmosphere and treatment of the scenes. Since it was a love story, the scenes were written accordingly, the stories in the iconic love stories is what makes the pairs iconic,” she said.

Kumar’s directorial debut “Yaariyan” was directed at teenagers and showed campus romances but also had an intense romance towards the end of the film. Releasing on the occasion of Valentine’s Day, she targets the film for lovers.

“Since a long time I have seen that numerous rom-coms are coming, but pure love stories come very rarely. Like I thought ‘Aashiqui 2’ was very pure and innocent. So I would wish to relate to it, since ‘Sanam Re’ is also a pure, classic love story, which answers numerous questions about love. And you’ll learn to remain happy,” she said.

“We keep running at such a high speed that we feel we’ll get happy only if we reach a particular level in career. There are numerous deep aspects, fun elements in the film made on a commercial basis with drama, comedy, love, good music, good locations, that is what makes the film different,” she said.

Kumar also features in an item number in the film.
