The teaser opens with a beautiful shayari (said by Abhishek) playing in the background, while he is looking at a pic of Noor (played by Amandeep). Every morning he starts his day looking at her pic, hoping she would become his destiny one day. The subtle background score, the beautiful sunlit shot, and of course Abhishek’s well-toned body make the teaser the perfect peek into the amazing story that will unfold on June 6 on the official YouTube channel of Dreamiyata Dramaa.

Sargun and Ravie’s previous shows - Dil Ko Rafuu Karr Lei, which featured Ayesha Khan and Karan V Grover in lead roles, and Lovely Lolla, which had Gauahar Khan and Isha Malviya, had created a huge buzz for their Pak-drama vibes. The characters were simple yet edgy, with nothing over-the-top that made it easier for the audience to resonate with them. Be it their nuanced storytelling or the emotional depth, Ravie and Sargun don’t just aim for surface-level romance; they dig deeper into interpersonal dynamics and cultural context, much like the best K-dramas and Pakistani serials.

And the teaser of Tujhse Haii Ashiqui is a step ahead of what the viewers got to see earlier. The aesthetically shot scenes, the longing for one’s love, and the original background music have the audience going gaga over the 50-second teaser, and they can’t wait to see what the production house has in store for them.

The teaser is a promise of quality, depth, and a kind of storytelling that respects both it's characters and its audience. We can tell the viewers are in for something truly special.

Southern Sitara to produce Indo-Australian feature films - Cannes 2025 update

A new Australian finance and production entity to fund development and production of a slate of features between Australia and India was announced at Cannes today

By Jyothi Venkatesh

A new Australian finance and production entity, Southern Sitara, was announced at Cannes today to fund and produce a slate of Australian-Indian feature films.

Founded by investment and strategy duo Roshni Pandey and Jagdish Sidhu—who manage a portfolio across Southeast Asia, London, and Australia—Southern Sitara will co-produce with award-winning production company TEMPLE, based at Disney Studios Australia in Sydney.

Conceived by filmmaker Anupam Sharma (who previously triggered the Australia India Film Fund), Southern Sitara will provide development funding, production investment, gap financing, and cash flow loans for eligible projects. Targeting films with budgets between AUD 5–11 million, it uses a hybrid capital model combining proprietary funds with co-raised capital, offering structured financing and short to mid-term working capital solutions.

Encouraged by the India-Australia co-production treaty and local incentives, the initiative is supported by prominent Indian diaspora figures in Australia. These include Drs Pradnya and Tej Dugal (Maasa, Farewell Amor) via Jhumka Films; London based international media investor Jacqui Miller-Charlton (MBE); Sydney-based investor Dr Chandru Tolani; and angel investor Shallu Kundra—all with prior investment in the Australia-India film space.

Southern Sitara has secured first-look distribution deals with ICON Film for English-language releases and Forum Films for Indian-language titles.

Legal counsel is Janine Pearce of JP Media Law. Communications will be led by Victoria Buchan of The Lantern Group, with Hema Upadhya handling PR in India.

The group has also onboarded a strong lineup of Australian producers and creatives for executive and key creative roles, including Lisa Duff (Last Cab to Darwin), Jannine Barnes (Downriver), Cathy Rodda (Bromley – Light After Dark), Victoria McIntyre Wharfe (The Flood), Ben Ulm (Shark Tank Australia), and First Nations producer Jodie Bell (Doug the Human).

Sidhu will oversee finance and compliance, Pandey will lead strategy and investor relations, and Sharma will serve as the creative face of Southern Sitara.

Speaking from Cannes, Sharma said: “Australia provides unprecedented support to screen professionals. Southern Sitara builds on this to enable authentic cultural storytelling.”

From the Gold Coast, Pandey added: “We’ve been piloting business models to de-risk film investment, and Australia’s treaties and incentives have helped us transform the narrative.”

Sidhu from Singapore said: “Australia’s production incentives and treaties offer a uniquely de-risked path to global film investment, aligning with our focus on compliance and strong ROI.”

The first projects include Anupam Kher’s directorial thriller, shot extensively in Australia, and Shadows, a horror film blending First Nations and Indian mythologies.

Also on the slate is The Indian Cowboy – a story inspired by India’s only country music singer Bobby Cash, who was discovered in Australia.
Southern Sitara will also raise investment funds for a slate including Richard Jameson’s Bidjara Kumari, which has had development investment from Screen Australia and Screen Queensland; FRAMED, which is being developed with assistance from Screen Australia, Screen NSW, and SBS, and Dr Sanjaya Senanayake’s Chilli Chicks and Heart Attacks, written by Victoria McIntyre and developed with assistance from Screen Canberra.
