Rajan Shahi,who has used Holi sequences in Kuch Toh Log Kahenge,Amrit Manthan and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai says,Holi has a pan-India connect and transcends communities,social strata and age groups.Generally,other festivals have a notion of sobriety attached to them.Holi,on the other hand,is colourful and associated with gaiety,laughter and joy.It is a nice platform to get a character break its mould.
