Writer, director Shakun Batra's third film, Gehraiyaan, takes a stab at infidelity. Known for his incisive and empathetic family dramas — Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, Kapoor And Sons — this film is about Alisha (Deepika Padukone) and Karan (Dhairya Karwa), a couple whose monotonous coupledom is challenged by Zain (Siddhanth Chaturvedi), the fiancé of Tia (Ananya Panday).
Tia and Alisha are cousins, and Tia and Zain's impending marriage is threatened by an affair between Zain and Alisha. A troubled past is hinted at.
Sharing black and white pictures, Deepika Padukone wrote before the launch of the teaser: "Yes…It has been a bit of a wait but as the saying goes… Sometimes, the longer you wait for something, the more you appreciate it when it finally arrives! Hopefully, the same holds true here. I took the opportunity to be a part of something that I believe was truly magical. And with love in my heart and utmost gratitude, I cannot wait to share our labour of love with all of you."
Written by Batra and collaborator Ayesha Devitre Dhillon and Sumit Roy, produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Shakun Batra, the film premieres on Amazon Prime Video on February 11th.
