When director Avishek Ghosh narrated the script of Ishq-E-Nadaan to Lara Dutta, it took her back to the world of Hrishikesh Mukherjee movies. From Guddi (1971) to Bawarchi (1972) and Chupke Chupke (1975), the late director’s offerings were noted for their ability to look at the joys of everyday life. “I’ve been a huge fan of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s films. His characters would make the story what it is. Ishq-E-Nadaan is special in that sense; the love and the relationships in this film are innocent,” says the actor, who was last seen in Kaun Banegi Shikharwati (2022).
