Zee Theatre’s Ila Arun and KK Raina's play Peechha Karti Parchhaiyaan to release on this date
Ila Arun in Peechha Karti Parchhaiyaan
Peechha Karti Parchhaiyaan headlined by the renowned theatre and film personality Ila Arun, KK Raina, and actors Param Singh, Priyamvada Kant, and Vijay Kashyap will be released this August. The multi-starrer play is an intergenerational drama which was first performed in 2016.
Adapted by Ila Arun from Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's classic play Ghosts, it is directed for the stage by director KK Raina and helmed by filming director Saurabh Shrivastava for television.
It’s coming to the silver screens after having been staged in more than 50+ shows across India with great success in sold-out shows.
What is Ghosts about?
Published in 1881, Ghosts critiqued outmoded social mores, and Peechha Karti Parchhaiyaan reflects similar themes. KK Raina plays the role of a stern Purohit while Ila essays the matriarch, Yashodhara Baisaheb. Actor Param Singh portrays Yuvraj, the conflicted scion of the Rajput family. The play brings forth the emotional and psychological toll of maintaining facades, showing that the price of duty can be devastatingly high. As the narrative unfolds, the audience will witness the heartbreaking consequences of Rani Yashodhara’s sacrifices and the tragic inevitability of her son’s fate.

Commenting on the teleplay, Ila Arun says, "The play talks about a story of a woman who has been haunted all her life by the shadow of traditions, rituals, and entrenched thought patterns. That’s the reality of our society shown in this play, no matter how modern she may be, a woman is still expected to remain bound to societal norms.”
Director-actor KK Raina, who was drawn to the intergenerationalstory because of its eternal relevance, says, "Ila Arun always brings immense creative synergy to a project, and it is not often that one gets to direct a play with so many layers. This was a very special project because it spoke about so many issues, including the toxicity of patriarchy, the suppression of women, the impact of the past on the present, and the traumas that the young inherit in dysfunctional family structures.”

Set against the feudal backdrop of Rajasthan, the story is woven around the family of the late Maharaja Kunwar Viraj Bhanu Pratap Singh. His widow, Rani Yashodhara Baisaheb, carries the heavy burden of his misdeeds, concealing painful secrets to protect her son from the dark truths that could shatter their world. Her love for her son is profound and unwavering but this relationship, central to the narrative, begins to crumble under the weight of the toxic secrets. Their bond rooted in love is haunted by the past, highlighting the duality of protection and destruction inherent in family dynamics.
