The lead cast of upcoming romantic entertainer "1982-A Love Marriage", visited a college in Navi Mumbai on the eve of Valentine's Day to promote their film.

Lead pair Amitkumar Sharma and Omna Harjani, along with co-actor Gaurav Kothari visited the Rajiv Gandhi College in Vashi to gauge the response of their film. They showcased the trailer of the film on the big screen which was greeted with a thunderous response.

"When the trailer played I saw some of the girls and boys looking at each other and smiling, indicating how much the incidents in our film are drawn from real-life incidents. Though our film is a family-oriented film and not specifically youth-oriented, it was heartening to see that the youngsters who're interested in sex comedies and all, showed such a good response to our film. I am certain that they will not be disappointed," said lead actor Amitkumar.

 

The college was already in the mood for Valentine's Day one day before since it falls on a Sunday this time, and the theme of the film was perfectly in sync for the celebrations.

The film is a family-based romantic comedy revolving around the themes of love marriage and arranged marriage. It is set in rural India where boy and the girl obediently follow the instructions of the parents and what happens when such a marriage actually takes place.

Director Prashant M. Gorey said: "Our film is based on love, so what better day to visit colleges than on the day of love - Valentine's Day. And the college-going youngsters are generally very enthusiastic about this day and the atmosphere on such days is on another level.

"These same youngsters will experience the same dilemma between love marriage and arranged marriage few years down the line, and looking at their amazing reactions, I feel they definitely connected to the emotions depicted in our trailer,"

"1982-A Love Marriage", produced by ShivKumar Sharma, is releasing on February 26.
