Maanvi Gagroo and Karan Wahi are gearing up for their next romedy series, 'Half LoveHalf Arranged'.The trailer of the upcoming series is out now and it showcases the life of a gynaecologist Riya Tanwar (Maanvi Gagroo). Her long-term boyfriend is all set to propose to her but situations take turns, and so do her relationships and life. With a loving but oddball family on her side, Riya finds herself in the thick of absurd arranged marriage matches and hilarious dates. As Riya deals with the strange inquiries and funny encounters, a prince charming appears and sweeps her off her feet, making her doubt whether or not she wants to follow her straightforward road map.While talking about the series, Maanvi said, "I think the concept of Half love half arranged, is ideal right? You love someone and your families are on board! Just like many women, in Riya's life too, everyone, her family, relatives, astrologers, and neighbours are trying to get her to 'settle down'."The story revolves around bizarre and quirky scenarios, meet-ups with prospective groom, crazy questions, expectations from their families & the saga of finding the right match. Viewers will get a dose of romance, getting a glimpse of Riya's love life, filled with sweet, heartwarming moments," she shared.Karan added, "Rom-coms have always been everyone's favourite, lightening up their mood. With Half LoveHalf Arranged we are bringing in a unique perspective with a twist of traditional marriage and modern matchmaking. This light-hearted series is sure to give viewers jitters, with women relating to the character of Riya and the situations she gets stuck in. We have tried to address the untouched topic of arranged matchmaking in an Indian family with a flavour of comedy and love." 'Half LoveHalf Arranged' will be streaming from October 12 on Amazon miniTV.

"When we were shooting in Italy, we had to shoot a lake scene, and it was freezing cold. The water was so cold that our director Joyeeta (Patpati) asked us to skip it. But, Bani was prepared to do it, leaving Joyeeta surprised. That pumped us up and Sayani and I too decided to go for it," Maanvi said.Revealing how she convinced them to live this once-in-a-lifetime moment, Bani added, "I was like I got you guys, you have my back, don't worry. But then, something unexpected happened. The scene was shot in a single take, as it was the last shot of our outdoor schedule. I was hyping everyone up as I was super excited to go for it. I ran towards the lake and jumped, and then I realised it's deeper than I imagined, my heart went numb. I was like 'Oh Goodness, Breathe Breathe! But before I could warn Sayani and Maanvi to not take the risk, it was too late."Bani said that she has all the moments captured on her phone."I have been the unofficial BTS videographer. In every season, whenever we shoot something, I'm always ready with my phone to capture photos and videos. I've created a new season for myself. When the team will see the vlogs, they will get a flashback of all their memories, but this will go only after the season is out," she shared.Helmed by Joyeeta Patpatia and written by Devika Bhagat, 'Four More Shots Please' also stars Kirti Kulhari.
Maanvi Gagroo continues to climb the ladders of success with projects that stand out from the rest. With her recent Filmfare nomination and continued love for the Emmy nominated web series Four More Shots Please, she is going to be a part of a rather exciting, one of its kind project, and it has everyone's attention for reasons that are absolutely celebratory.Maanvi is all set to be a part of a virtual production, titled 'Islands of Contentment'. While Maanvi will take her first step with this project at a global level, what is also appealing about the play is its South Asian cast. Written by Dipti Bramhandkar, Islands of Contentment will be presented by New York City's The Tank and co-produced by Hypokrit Productions via Zoom. Islands of Contentment is co-directed by Arpita Mukherjee and Hannah Wolf (with select filmed monologues directed by Rahul Chittella). Maanvi will be seen sharing the stage with the likes of Ajay Naidu, Kalki Koechlin Suraj Sharma, among others.Talking about the same, Maanvi says, ''I am absolutely pumped about the performance as this plunge will enable me to broaden my base. As an artist, I strongly believe that an actor must not be confined to one medium or format and that content always trumps everything else. Islands of Contentment will have thirteen monologues and given the unique virtual format that we have taken to, it is the content that will make the audiences feel extremely relatable. The topics are around modern relationships and I, for one, am honored to be a part of this venture, especially given the global reach, which will allow me to widen my fan base. The pandemic has forced us to be more creative with not just the content and stories but their format and execution as well. It has brought the world closer, in more ways than one.''She further added, ''With great artists on board, a one of its kind platform, and the worldwide appeal, I can't wait to see how does the audience perceives the performance and the project in its entirety.''Islands of Contentment will be performed over the weekends from April 16 to May 2. With everyone currently dealing with the pandemic, these stories are a sweet reminder of togetherness amid isolation.

Talking about shooting amidst the new normal, she says, Our protocols are driven by the governments prescribed norms and Amazons exhaustive list of SOPs. Were testing exhaustively, masking for safety, using private travel modes only, theres zero sharing of food and liquids and were living in a shoot bubble to keep our crew and ourselves as safe as possible. All this while we keep a close watch on the changing pandemic environment around us to devise new and additional precautions that could come into place.The shoot of Four More Shots Please! is currently underway in Mumbai and will continue till the end of May.
