Shakun Batra has a way with relationship dramas, showing us the ache of unrequited love in Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012), and the frailty of familial ties in Kapoor & Sons (2016). With Gehraiyaan, whose trailer dropped online yesterday, he scrutinises modern-day romances. At the centre of his noir drama is Deepika Padukone. The actor admits that finding her footing initially wasn’t easy as the role required her to be “emotionally naked”.
