Ayesha Takia will play a vivacious girl who brings love into the life of a reclusive character played by Bobby Deol in a forthcoming movie.
Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali discovered Ayesha in his movie Socha Na Tha that marked the acting debut of Ayesha and Abhay Deol .
Imtiaz has now three more projects on hand, one of which will be a musical love story titled Geet .
As learnt, the film will have Ayesha playing a chirpy Punjabi girl. Bobby Deol plays a silent, reclusive business magnate who doesn’t socialize much with people. As the movie’s story goes, Bobby and Ayesha meet in a train. They are two contrasting personalities. Despite Bobby’s initial rebuff, Ayesha manages to capture his thoughts with her buoyant and charming persona.
Imtiaz says he had the story of ‘Geet’ in mind for a long time. About a year back, he narrated it to Bobby who gave his consent. When Imtiaz set out to find the actress to play the Punjabi girl opposite Bobby, he says he could not think of anyone else except Ayesha.
Ayesha will reportedly undergo diction training for her role.
The shooting of the movie is expected to start from March.
