‘Love Storiyaan’: Karan Johar announces new series based on real-life love stories; to release on Feb 14

Karan Johar has announced a new series titled ‘Love Storiyaan’. Taking to Instagram, the filmmaker shared that he has curated a collection of real-life love tales, similar to the ‘Modern Love’ series, in celebration of Valentine's Day.

‘Love Storiyaan’ will present a six-part heartfelt journey through genuine love stories, conceptualized by Somen Mishra. The series showcases the narratives of six real-life couples from various regions, highlighting their experiences of love, resilience, and triumph over challenges.

The narratives have been brought to life by six directors - Akshay Indikar, Archana Phadke, Collin D’Cunha, Hardik Mehta, Shazia Iqbal, and Vivek Soni.

Produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, with Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra as executive producers, ‘Love Storiyaan’ draws inspiration from real-life stories showcased on India Love Project, a social media community founded by former journalists Priya Ramani, Samar Halarnkar, and Niloufer Venkatraman. The series is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video.

Talking about the project, Aparna Purohit, head of Originals, India and Southeast Asia, Prime Video said, ‘Love Storiyaan is a testament to Prime Video’s unwavering commitment to crafting narratives that not only mirror the rich diversity of our audience but also deeply resonate with their hearts. This series opens a door to authentic and uplifting stories of love that transcend societal boundaries and challenge norms. It intricately intertwines a delicate tapestry, certain to tug at the viewers’ heartstrings for its resonant storytelling.’

‘India Love Project has been at the forefront of documenting incredible stories of real-life couples who have surmounted all possible challenges for their love, and we’re thrilled to immortalise their efforts with Love Storiyaan. The series also marks our first collaboration with Dharmatic Entertainment, further extending our incredibly successful partnership with Dharma Productions. Karan, Apoorva, Somen and each of the directors have breathed life into these special stories. We hope, this Valentine’s Day, they invoke the same feelings of hope, happiness and joy in our customers as they did for us,’ she added.

‘Love Storiyaan for us, is more than just a faithful retelling of real-life love stories. The series looks at love in all its forms, painting a beautiful picture of connections that go beyond the ordinary,’ said Karan Johar, Dharmatic Entertainment.

‘Over the years as a filmmaker and producer, I have had the privilege of telling several love stories that have defined the genre for Indian Cinema, however, what struck me about India Love Project, who helped us curate these stories, was the rawness and uniqueness of each of them. These are stories of real people, from different backgrounds, who faced colossal roadblocks in their journey of finding true love and shown tenacity and persevered by powering through the barriers of culture, faith, gender or even war. This is our first foray into bringing real stories of real people to audiences, and I am delighted that through Prime Video, whom we share a long-term association with, this series will be able to reach audiences far and wide, within India and across the world,’ he added.

‘Love Storiyaan’ will be released on Amazon Prime Video on February 14.
