Mumbai, Feb 9 (IANS) Actor Harshvardhan Rane and filmmaker Milap Zaveri marked the first anniversary of their collaboration “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat” with an emotional exchange, celebrating a journey built on faith, friendship and mutual respect.
Milap took to Instagram, where he shared two pictures from the shoot of the film, which also stars Sonam Bajwa.

“Dear @harshvardhanrane 1 year ago on this day i sent you a message requesting you to hear #EkDeewaneKiDEEWANIYAT Today is the 1st anniversary of that day,” Milap wrote.
Calling the film a “super hit,” Zaveri said the biggest takeaway from the journey was gaining “a brother and a friend for life.”
He praised Harshvardhan not just as an on-screen hero but as a hero in real life, crediting the actor’s belief and kindness for restoring his confidence at a time when he felt labelled a failure by the industry.
“A man who is not just an on screen HERO but a HERO in real life too. Your faith in me, your humility, your talent, your hard work, all make me your FAN.

“But it all started with your kindness and belief in a failed director. Coz that’s what i was. A failure. And the world did its best to make me feel like one.”
The filmmaker continued: “Till you said YES. And once again you have said YES to my next film and dream. I know this new journey with Bhushan ji, @akanksharmaa and others who will join us will be as special. Coz YOU always make it SPECIAL. Love you my friend. Happy anniversary! Can’t wait to say “Roll sound, Camera, ACTION!” To you again”
