Actor Aashay Srivastava will be featuring as Pushpendra in FNP Media’s new short film Saat Tareekh. It is scheduled for a 25th June release. The film, co-produced by Aagaaz Entertainment and FNP Media, will exclusively be streaming on FNP’s You Tube channel. Throwing more light on his role Aashay says,”For an actor, this is a great role, there is so much to do as Pushpendra. The director of the film Kartik Singh and I know each other for quite some time now. We have done a film called Briefcase earlier. This time when he told me about Saat Tareekh, I was super excited. With a film like Saat Tareekh, if we can change even one person’s thought process, that would be great.” Speaking of the Indian society in which still there is a discrimination between a boy and a girl. Aashay says,”My family has never discriminated between me and my sister. Today women are flying planes and have even gone to the moon. So why this discrimination? Yes maybe physically men are stronger, but otherwise, there is no way we can keep women away from anything. The thought process has to change. Instead of just discussing, the society has to take action now.”
Talking about his experience of working in Saat Tareekh Aashay adds,” We have finished shooting for this film in one day, I met my onscreen mother -actress Aishwarya Narkar on the set directly. She is a very well-known Marathi actress and made my job easy on the camera. The climax scene was a big moment for me It also involved an action director.”
Aashay is a popular face in the commercials and was also part of projects like MTV reality show Pyar Karona. His next is a web series titled Chalava.
