Shakun Batra's film Gehraiyaan has become a topic of discussion since its trailer release last month. The film deals with the subject of infidelity and many are curious to know whether Gehraiyaan can do justice to such a complex issue. While it was initially vying for a theatrical release, due to a surge in COVID-19 cases, the makers of the film settled for an OTT release eventually.

The film is directed and co-produced by Batra, who has previously made films like Kapoor & Sons and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, amongst others. Featuring an impressive cast, the film is a modern-day take on relationships and their complexities. It weaves in the topic of infidelity, but not under the garb of finding a soulmate or love. If the trailer is anything to go by, then Gehraiyaan is raw on emotions, promising a deep dive into love, lust and longing.

The trailer of the film was released sometime back and it was instantly a hit with people. It showed the characters effortlessly being intimate and questioning the grey areas of their life. The closing scene of the trailer, where one character asks another, "Are we just messed up people?" and then continue to kiss, stays with the audience.

The makers of Gehraiyaan are also being applauded for giving due credit to their intimacy director Dar Gai. The role of an intimacy director or coordinator is to ensure the comfort of the actors while shooting an intimate scene. Intimacy coordinators are quite common in Hollywood, especially since the MeToo movement, but it is fairly fresh in the Hindi film industry to rope in one. During the movie's trailer launch, Batra said, "Intimacy today is a very specialised space and you have to create an environment where actors can feel comfortable where you prep the way you do for the story or an action sequence. In America and the west, intimacy coordinator has become a process and I really thought that the start point of this film from a new beginning would be to accept things happening in other countries too."

Cast of Gehraiyaan

The cast of the film includes Deepika Padukone as Alisha, Ananya Panday as Tia, Siddhant Chaturvedi as Zain and Dhairya Karwa as Karan, in the pivotal roles. Naseeruddin Shah and Rajat Kapoor will also be seen in important roles.

During the trailer launch, Padukone had opened up about her character and said, "You have never seen me play a character like this or any Indian actor. India has not seen a film like this. This is really first. Batra has really been the observer and watching different kinds of people and relationships without judgement...there is no reference point, so one has to really dig deep."

While Panday talked about being part of the film and said, "I was happy to be part of a film like this. We were all in Goa for two months. Every moment in this film was magical and we did not just change as an actor but as a person too."

What is Gehraiyaan about

The film is ">about Alisha, Zain, Tia and Karan. Alisha and Karan are in a relationship, while Tia and Zain are set to be married soon. Alisha soon begins an affair with Zain, who is engaged to her cousin Alisha. While their partners are unaware of their affair initially, things take a dark turn when the secret is out.

Will their relationships survive? Will Zain and Alisha's longing for each other force them to call it quits on their relationships so that they can be together, or is an end to this road way more tortuous than they had imagined.

Gehraiyaan Release Date And Time

The film is scheduled for a release on February 11 on Amazon Prime Video. Anyone with a valid subscription to the platform can watch it from the said date.

Ahead of the film release, the lead actor Deepika Padukone was involved in a couple of controversies. A social media influencer posted a picture of Padukone during the promotions of the film and suggested that her outfits are getting  'tinier' as the Gehraiyaan release approaches.

Since the film has shown glimpses of some of the intimate scenes in the film, a troll asked Padukone how her husband 'allowed' her to get intimate with another man on camera. Padukone exclaimed "yuck" after hearing the comment. She was supported by many social media users who said that Padukone should not be subjected to such judgements just for doing her job as an actor.
