The story of Gehraiyaan began with a desire to write something on infidelity because the idea of love has long been oversimplified in Hindi cinema, says Shakun Batra who has “zoomed out” to explore the greys in relationships in his first film after Kapoor & Sons (2016).

The pre-release buzz for the film, starring Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, Dhairya Karwa along with Naseeruddin Shah and Rajat Kapoor in supporting roles, is strong and the filmmaker said he is waiting to see how the world receives his take on relationships when it premieres on Amazon Prime Video on February 11.
