This is indeed very bold on the part of Bollywood to make films on subjects until now untouched. The current movie is one in that direction as it is based on teenage pregnancy. After handling mature themes like marital blues and surrogate motherhood, Satish Kaushik has come out with 'Tere Sang'. He aims at informing the viewers about the unsafe sex prevailing among today's youths and also about the problem's solution through sex education to them. The music of the movie was lauched in New Delhi on July 13, 2009 by the Chief Minister of Delhi, Ms Sheila Dixit, in the presence of VIPs and music lovers besides the media. The movie stars Ruslaan Mumtaaz of the 'Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar' fame and debutant Sheena Shahabadi. Speaking to the media on the launch of the music in the capital, Satish Kaushik said that Delhi is very close to his heart and that's the reason why he had shot his movie in Delhi. Not only that he even named his film company as Karol Bagh Film & Entertainment Pvt Ltd on Delhi's famous market-cum-residential place - Karol Bagh. Satish added that many teenagers today are landing themselves into trouble through unprotected sex. So, he thought of reaching out to them and telling them how and why they should be careful with their lives.
The movie is also significant inasmuch as another Bollywood sibling has thus entered into the industry. This is Sheena Shahabadi, daughter of yesteryears' actress Sadhna of the 'Nadiya Ke Paar' fame. This is a good news as the sibling is beginning her career not with a conventional movie but with a meaningful one that has a message to convey to the audience. Besides, the message is very topical in today's context when sex education has become vital in propagating safe sex. In her debut 'Teree Sang', she plays a teenaged girl whose boyfriend Ruslaan Mumtaaz makes her pregnant. Satish Kaushik-directed 'Tere Sang' tells the story of 15-year-old Maahi played by Sheena and 17-year-old Kukko played by Ruslaan Mumtaaz who are schoolmates. In one of their outdoor rendezvous with a bunch of friends, they decide to 'experiment' and end up making love to each other. When Maahi gets pregnant, she decides to give birth to the child and Kukoo fully supports her in this matter. She is very excited with her debut role though it's unusual. She is aware that pregnancy and abortion are too common among the girls of her age today and the consequent agony they suffer. She is bold and favors teenage romance and a physical relationship, but with necessary protection! Sheena is very happy that Bollywood has welcomed her with open arms, and that the movie is very subjective and she loves playing her character. She is very happy that she has acted in her debut movie with none other than a director like Satish Kaushik, who has been very cooperative and never let her feel a newcomer. Incidentally, Satish Kaushik himself along with Sushmita Mukherjee and Rajat Kapoor will star in the movie. The movie will hit theaters on August 7 this year. 'Tere Sang' is produced by Bharat Shah and co-produced by Anupam Kher, Satish Kaushik and Manoj Mittal. Music is by Sachin-Jigar and lyrics by Sameer.
