In August 2015, two months after Hamari Adhuri Kahani released, Delhi based actor Imran Zahid did a stage version of the film.
Imran Zahid on starring in the play based on Hamari Adhuri Kahani, “To portray a character inspired by the life of my mentor Mahesh Bhatt was an honour beyond words”
Speaking of the experience Imran said, “Hamari Adhuri Kahani is not just a play for me — it’s a part of my soul. It’s such an intensely emotional story that it didn’t just make me act; it made me feel every moment on stage. To portray a character inspired by the life of my mentor, Mahesh Bhatt, was an honour beyond words — a tribute from a student to his guru. What made this journey even more unforgettable was Bhatt Saab himself singing the title track at the heartfelt request of Pooja Bhatt and me. When the play opened to an overwhelming response and then Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, their families, the entire cabinet and MLAs attended — it felt like a dream. These moments aren’t just memories; they are emotions etched into my heart forever.”
The film about a wife, her absconding husband and vigilant lover came and bombed. But Mohit Suri’s Hamari Adhuri Kahani (HAK) has attracted the attention of stage enthusiasts. The film, which was based on Mahesh Bhatt’s book ‘All That Could Have Been’ which he co-wrote with Suhrita Sengupta, went on stage in Delhi.
Mahesh Bhatt’s protégé Imran Zahid played Emraan Hashmi’s role. Added Imran, “The unusual thing is that an idea is first released in a book, then a film and then presented as a play .Gone are the days when an idea was presented only in one format. HAK released on book almost simultaneously before the release of the film and same idea was adapted for theatre.”
About playing the lead in the play Imran said, “Bhatt saheb felt earlier also I played characters which are pulled out of autobiographical real-life situations, whether it’s is Arth, Daddy or The Last Salute, so I would do justice with the lead character.”
The play was directed by Happy Ranajit, an NSD graduate who is also an award winning actor and director.
