The Radha Krishna love story is eternal and sublime. Millions of people across generations are mesmerized by the Radha Krishna love story. The Bhagavata story of Krishna, the cowherd romancing Radha, is an incomparably superb mythology and a legend conquering times. Krishna's relationship with Radha, his favorite among the 'gopis', has served as a model for male and female love in a variety of art forms.
Krishna's youthful dalliances with the 'gopis' are interpreted as symbolic of the loving interplay between God and the human soul. Radha's utterly rapturous love for Krishna and their relationship is often interpreted as the quest for union with the divine. It is said that Krishna or God is only satiated by devotional service in loving servitude and Radha is the personification of devotional service to the supreme. This kind of love is of the highest form of devotion in Vaishnavism. Radha, daughter of Vrishabhanu, was Krishna's lover during that period of his life when he lived among the cowherds of Vrindavan. Since childhood they were close to each other - they played, they danced, they fought, they grew up together and wanted to be together forever, but the world pulled them apart. He departed to safeguard the virtues of truth, and she waited for him. He vanquished his enemies, became the king, and came to be worshipped as a lord of the universe. She waited for him. He married Rukmini and Satyabhama, raised a family, participated the great war of Kurukshetra, and she still waited. So great was Radha's love for Krishna that even today her name is uttered whenever Krishna is referred to, and Krishna worship is thought to be incomplete without the deification of Radha.
This television project has made a long journey before making it to your tv screens. The concept was first conceived by Zee Tv and a short teaser was put on air in mid 2015. At that time another different production house was developing the project with a complete different star cast. Several months passed after that without the show getting launched. Following the long delay, the channel decided to shift the project to Swastik Productions in 2016.
Swastik then started preparations to put the show on floor as soon as possible . Our present lead actors (Sumedh and Mallika) were roped in for the show during that period. The show was all set to go on floor that year...beautiful sets were in place, even promo was shot but in unfortunate turn of events the show was scrapped in the eleventh hour over some disagreements between the production house and the channel regarding the budget.
There was no news for a year thereafter. It is reported that Swastik moved on with the concept with other channel. Then a casting news made it to the media in august 2017 indicating that the project is still active. Apparently the show was set to come on air in 2017 again but it got postponed further. It was reported that hard negotiations were made to air the show in Star Plus, but ultimately it found its place in Star Bharat.
Finally in mid 2018, there were strong hints from social media activity of actors that the project is on verge of revival yet again and this is time there is no looking back.
Young Mallika Singh is a newcomer in the industry. Star Bharat's 'RadhaKrishn' under Swastik Productions is her debut show. This 18 year old actress was producer Siddarth Tiwari's first choice for the role of Radha. Back in 2016, she was called by the production house very shortly after auditioning for the role. According to producer Siddharth Tiwari, Mallika's personality is very close to the image of Radha he has in his head. He says, Mallika has certain traits in her personality such as purity, innocence, calmness etc. Mallika has remained part of the original cast who were roped in to play lead roles for the show couple of years ago.
Though following the delay of this project, Mallika moved on in between to star in a Rajashri Productions show, but such is fate that even that show got shelved last year, which made Mallika available to be back in this show again. Perhaps, she was destined to play Radha.
