Ankita Mestri becomes the “Insta Star”!
A brand-new romantic track, #InstaStar, has just been released and is already going viral across social media. Promising a refreshing and heart-touching musical experience, the song presents a fresh pairing of popular actress Ankita Mestri, known for Jau Bai Gaavt, and actor Jagdish Zore.
Directed by Abhijit Dani, the song has been beautifully composed by Rohit Patil and sung by Shailesh Rathod and Kritika Borkar. Shot in the scenic locales of Nashik, the video captures the essence of young love stories—of today’s generation striving to showcase their talent through social media while chasing big dreams.
Produced under the banner of ShriJay Creation by Jay Palavkar, with Navneet Jadhav as project head, the song’s story has also been penned by Jay Palavkar. The choreography is by Dinesh Shirsath, with costumes and styling by Priyanka Kshatriya and Abhishek Kshatriya. The launch event of Insta Star was recently held in Mumbai with much fanfare.
Speaking about the song, actress Ankita Mestri says:
> “I am very thankful to ShriJay Creation and producer Jay Palavkar for giving me this opportunity. The moment I heard Insta Star, I immediately agreed to be part of it. The song has a completely different vibe and will surely connect with today’s youth and the Gen-Z audience. It’s already trending on social media, and I request my fans to shower it with as much love as they have given to my earlier songs. Also, make reels on the song and tag me—I’d love to see them.”
Producer Jay Palavkar shares:
> “ShriJay Creation is an independent music channel I started three years ago. We have already released five songs, including two that were shot in the UK, maintaining high quality throughout. PR Vinaya Sawant introduced us to a scratch version of Insta Star sung by Shailesh Rathod, and I loved it instantly. I decided to write the story myself and bring this project to life. I’m sure the audience will love the track and dance to it, just like they did with Kokanpari and our earlier releases. Please keep supporting us and share your feedback in the comments.”
Director #AbhijitDani recalls the filming:
> “This was my first time working with ShriJay Creation, and the support was amazing. We shot in Nashik during monsoon, and though rain kept delaying the schedule, luckily, the final shoot went smoothly. One of the most challenging yet fun parts was shooting the hookline in a sugarcane field. Ankita had to perform dance steps in high heels on soft ground, and though she kept losing balance, she handled it brilliantly. The shoot was a joyful experience, and I’m thrilled that audiences are loving it. The song is now trending on Instagram, and I request everyone to keep showing love and share their reels with us.”
Ankita Mestri’s earlier songs Nakhrewali and Jhumka had gone viral, while Jagdish Zore gained popularity with Laybhari Diste Por and Rambha. With Insta Star, this fresh pairing has struck the right chord, adding yet another chartbuster to the independent music scene.
