A 'Dil Chahta Hai' for these times: Adnan Malik sings praises of 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan'

Pakistani actor Adnan Malik is all praise for Zoya Akhtar's latest venture, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. The film has been commended for its relatable plot and light-hearted take on modern-world dating issues. Kho Gaye Hum Kahan stars Ananya Panday, Siddhanth Chaturvedi and Adarsh Gourav in pivotal roles.

"A 'Dil Chahta Hai' for these times," Malik penned on Instagram while posting a picture of the film's poster. He furthered, "Tender, heartfelt, entertaining. Thank you for all the magic you bring into this world, Zoya Akhtar."

From the effortless camaraderie in Dil Chahta Hai to the lighthearted bonds portrayed in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, the dynamic interaction between the three characters enriches stories with profound depth and reliability. The film marks Arjun Varain Singh's directorial debut and is co-written by Singh, along with Zoya and Reema Kagti.

In a joint statement, Siddhant, Ananya and Adarsh, essaying the characters of Imaad, Ahana, and Neil in the film respectively, expressed that Kho Gaye Hum Kahan serves as a unique representation of millennials and Gen Z and the tensions between social media and the real world.

“It’s a story that needs to be told, a story our generation will wholeheartedly connect with and we couldn’t be more proud to have been a part of it. The best part is that during filming, we immersed ourselves so deeply in our roles that our on-screen friendship seamlessly transformed into real camaraderie off-camera. We can’t wait for Netflix audiences around the world to discover our labour of love,” the trio stated.

Arjun also explained his artistic process in conceiving the film, sharing his desire to tell a heartfelt story about people from his life. “The twenties mark the most exciting yet daunting chapter of life and navigating through that maze while growing up in the digital age, amidst the chaotic world of social media can be even more overwhelming,” he said.
