Esha Deol to make her comeback with short film 'Cakewalk'

Esha Deol to make her comeback with short film 'Cakewalk'

New Delhi, Mar 13 (UNI) Actress Esha Deol is all set to make her comeback with Hindi short feature film 'Cakewalk', to be directed by Ram Kamal Mukherjee, trade sources said on Tuesday.

'She will be playing the role of a Chef in the film, depicting the professional and personal journey of a woman in our society,' sources said.

“The idea of making a film came into Ram Kamal’s mind while he was interviewing me for his book on my mother,” Esha said.

The 'Dhoom' girl had consciously taken a break from films after marriage and motherhood. Last October, Esha and Bharat Takhtani had a baby girl Radhya, and since then she has been enjoying her motherhood.

“I always wanted to tell a story, it was just a matter of time,” says Ram Kamal.

“It was actually Esha who inspired me to direct the film,” he added.

The story and screenplay has been penned by Ram Kamal. The film will be co-directed by Abhra Chakraborty.

Speaking about his corroboration with Ram Kamal, co-director Abhra said, “I have heard about dada (Ram Kamal) from Bappada. After Bappada’s sudden demise when I suddenly got a call from him to collaborate on a Hindi film, I immediately agreed.'

He feels that Esha will be seen in a complete new avatar, and that would be refreshing.

The music has been composed by Shailendra Sayanti. The film will be shot extensively in Kolkata by end of March.

“I think the idea came to Ram Kamal’s mind after he interacted with a couple of working women from various walks of life. He has beautifully woven those incidents in his narrative,” says Esha.

Ram Kamal feels that in today’s time making a short feature is a much wiser decision.

He said,'We are a part of digital revolution. Recently Shah Rukh Khan mentioned that eventually films will get shorter and the medium will change from celluloid to smarter devices. That clearly indicates the future of cinema. We won’t be surprised to see Shah Rukh, Aamir Khan and even Amitabh Bachchan working in a web series or a short film in a couple of years.”

Produced by Dinesh Gupta, Shailendra Kumar and Aritra Das, under the banner of Assorted Motion Pictures and SS One Entertainments, the film will also introduce model turned television actor Tarun Malhotra as the male lead.

“I met Tarun during my Stardust days, and since then I have seen his growth as a talent. He has worked with filmmakers like Pradeep Sarkar and Gaurie Shinde in commercials and played antagonist in 'Janbaz Sindabad' in Zee TV. I wanted someone who can look young and matured at the same time,” Ram Kamal said.
