Loveratri: Warina Hussain recalls how she landed her Bollywood debut opposite Aayush Sharma

Loveratri marks the Hindi film debut of Salman Khan’s brother-in-law Aayush Sharma and newcomer Warina Hussain in lead roles. The film's trailer , which released on 6 August, tells a colourful love story set around nine days of the Navratri festival. “I was auditioning for a couple of films, there was a contest on ‘Being in Touch’ app that I applied for and after almost a month I got a call for an audition. When I received the script, there were no details about the production house or the hero, which usually are mentioned, I thought it will be a huge film and I auditioned,” said Warina, recalling her audition for the role, in a statement.

The film was shot in London and the outskirts of Gujarat. Directed by first-time director Abhiraj Minawala, written by Naren Bhatt and produced by Salman Khan Films, Loveratri is slated to release on 5 October, 2018.
