Young filmmaker Meghna Gulzar 's new film takes a peek into arranged marriages.
The film stars Fardeen Khan and Esha Deol as a newly wed couple on their honeymoon. Their marriage is not a love marriage, but an arranged one.
Meghna is quoted by a Mumbai-based newspaper as saying this about her movie: "I can't claim to offer a different take on a honeymooning couple…I am going to present a slice of their life in a film, the issues that couples married through an arranged set-up go through."
Meghna said she chose Fardeen Khan for the role because of his boy-next-door looks. She added she chose Esha Deol as his wife because the actress can convey the shyness and awkwardness of a newly wed girl.
Meghna is the daughter of lyricist, poet, filmmaker Gulzar . She made her directorial debut four years ago with Filhaal .
Fardeen and Esha were recently seen together in comedy film Pyare Mohan .
