Actress Karnika Mandal steps into the spotlight as the lead actress of ‘YANA…?, undertaking what the production team describes as a “surprising and challenging role.” Her character reportedly draws from historical figures of the 1840s period, requiring extensive preparation and emotional range.
Karnika Mandal says ” after hearing the narration I am sure this is the my dream film for which I had been waiting for in my film career.”
“Karnika Mandal brings exceptional depth to her portrayal in this biopic,” notes a production insider. “The role demands both physical transformation and psychological immersion into a character from a vastly different era.”
The actress has been spotted at various historical locations during pre-production, studying artifacts and historical documents to better understand the societal context of women in 1840s India. Her dedication to historical accuracy demonstrates the film’s commitment to authentic storytelling despite its genre-bending musical elements.
Under the direction of Mr. Prajapati, ‘YAANA…? takes shape as a multilingual production that will be simultaneously released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. This ambitious approach reflects the pan-Indian significance of the historical events portrayed in the film, as well as the production team’s commitment to reaching diverse linguistic audiences across the subcontinent.
The multilingual production strategy involves not merely dubbing the film but adapting cultural and linguistic nuances for each regional version, ensuring authentic resonance with varied audiences. Prajapati’s directorial vision encompasses this complexity while maintaining narrative cohesion across all language versions.
Supporting Mr. Prajapati’s creative vision is a team of accomplished professionals, The film’s screenplay and dialogs have been crafted by Pinku Dube and Sonu Dandoria This collaborative approach to storytelling ensures that the historical narrative maintains both factual integrity and dramatic impact.
Composer Dev Chauhan has been tasked with creating a musical landscape that bridges nearly two centuries of musical evolution. His soundtrack for ‘YAANA…? will include traditional compositions authentic to the 1840s setting while also featuring contemporary elements—most notably an English-language song positioned to achieve international appeal.

एवं भूपेश खन्ना (Bhupesh Khanna), निर्देशक जय डोगरा (Jay Dogra) व भूपेश खन्ना लोक आस्था का महापर्व छठ पूजा की महिमा पर आधारित हिंदी फिल्म ‘आस्था छठी मइया’ (Aastha Chhathi Maiya) का निर्माण कर रहे हैं। इस फिल्म में भोजपुरी फिल्मों की सुपर स्टार एक्ट्रेस काजल राघवानी (Kajal Raghwani) और बॉलीवुड एक्टर पुनीत सिंह (Puneet Singh) मुख्य भूमिका में नजर आने वाले हैं। इस फिल्म की शूटिंग उत्तर प्रदेश की पावन धरती प्रयागराज (Pyagraj) में ग्रैंड मुहूर्त करके शुरू की गई है। कैलिफोर्निया (यूएसए) [California (USA)] की एनआरआई प्रोड्यूसर मिलिंडा बी डोगरा, निर्देशक जय डोगरा व भूपेश खन्ना ने श्री गणेश जी की विधिवत पूजा अर्चना करके तथा नारियल तोड़कर ग्रैंड मुहूर्त संपन्न किया। तदोपरांत लाइट, कैमरा, एक्शन के साथ फिल्म की शूटिंग शुरू की गई है। इस फिल्म पूरी शूटिंग प्रयागराज के विभिन्न क्षेत्रों की जाएगी।
उल्लेखनीय है कि ट्राई डॉट प्रोडक्शन (TRI DOT Production) एवं बीके प्रोडक्शन (यूएसए) [BK Production (USA)] के बैनर तले निर्माण की जा रही फिल्म ‘आस्था छठी मइया’ की निर्मात्री मिलिंडा बी डोगरा एवं निर्माता भूपेश खन्ना हैं। निर्देशक जय डोगरा व भूपेश खन्ना हैं। लेखक जय डोगरा हैं। डीओपी विकास जोशी, सेकेंड डीओपी सुनील वानखेड़े हैं। ईपी अरविन्द यादव, लाइन प्रोडूसर सौरभ द्विवेदी, कस्टिंग डायरेक्टर सिमरन पांडेय, प्रोडक्शन कंट्रोलर शुभम सिंह, केसरी नंदन हैं। पीआरओ रामचन्द्र यादव (आरआरजे मीडिया) व हिमांशु यादव हैं। मुख्य कलाकार पुनीत सिंह, काजल राघवानी, समता सागर, ऐश्वर्या राज भाकुनी, अमित सिन्हा, मुक्तेश्वर ओझा, मनतशा जावेद, सिमरन पाण्डेय, राजमनी त्रिपाठी, शुभांगी हैं।
गौरतलब है कि विदेशी महिला फ़िल्म निर्मात्री मिलिंडा बी डोगरा भारतीय संस्कृति के प्रभावित होकर छठ माता की महिमा पर आधारित फिल्म ‘आस्था छठी मइया’ का निर्माण कर रही हैं। उन्होंने छठ पूजा मे शामिल होकर छठ मइया की महिमा एवं व्रत के बारे में बारीकी से गहन अध्ययन किया है। उनका मानना है कि लोक आस्था का प्रतीक छठ माता की पूजा देश-विदेश के लोग भी ज्ञात कर सकें। इस फिल्म का इंग्लिश भाषा में डब करके तथा इंग्लिश सबटाइटल के साथ विदेशों में भी रिलीज की जाएगी।
एनआरआई प्रोड्यूसर मिलिंडा बी डोगरा का कहना है कि ‘जब हम भारत आए थे तो यहाँ देखा कि बहुत सुंदर छठ मइया का पर्व अस्था विश्वास और श्रद्धा पूर्वक मनाया जाता है। फिर मैंने और भी ज्यादा पढ़ा तथा जाना कि कितना खूबसूरत कल्चर है भारत के बिहार, उत्तर प्रदेश का। ज्यादा जानकारी हासिल पर पता चला चौवालीस करोड़ लोग इस छठ पर्व को मनाते हैं। फिर लगा क्यों ना हम भी इस पर फिल्म बनाएं। कुछ लोग सनातन धर्म का तिरस्कार करते हैं, इसलिए हम स्वच्छ तरीके से ये फ़िल्म बना रहे हैं। दादा अपनी पोती के साथ इस फ़िल्म को देख सकते हैं। ससुर अपनी बहू के साथ ये फ़िल्म देख सकते हैं।’
