Celina John on the success of her short film Jahaan: “I believe only love can save the world”

Love is a beautiful feeling, and the power of true love is simply magical. Jahaan, Amazon miniTV’s latest offering, is such a heartfelt story of romance. Produced by Unbox films, the short film features popular actors Mrunal Thakur and Avinash Tiwary in lead roles. Directed by Celina John, this is a story of a young married couple, and how they deal with the ups and downs in life together. Overwhelmed with the response around her very first film, Celina feels grateful and motivated to strive for the better in coming times.

Speaking about her debut film, director Celina John said, “It was a lovely experience directing Jahaan. I never felt like a newcomer because the cast and crew made me comfortable and contributed so much creatively during the shooting of the film. Their support made this journey as a director a wonderful experience, I couldn’t have asked for a better project or team than this. With the gloom surrounding us, as a filmmaker, I felt that it’s good to talk about love. I strongly believe only love can save the world. Through Jahaan, I wanted to reach out to people, with a story that can touch their hearts and convey an endearing message. I am really thankful to Amazon miniTV for providing us with the platform and helping us reach a wider audience. It’s a beautiful feeling that now people are watching the film and reaching out to us with so much love and positive feedback.”
