Deepika Padukone opened up about shooting with an intimacy coordinator and said, “I think we immediately correlate intimacy with physical intimacy and coming out of this made me realise there’s so much more to it.”

On the same note, Ananya Pandey said, “It really helped having conversations before we got into scenes about what is okay and what is not okay. Sometimes when there is no intimacy coordinator present, sometimes we get thrown into situations we might not be comfortable with, or that’s not rehearsed or discussed.”

Deepika also revealed that Ranveer Singh has always wanted her and Shakun Batra to do a film together. She said, “He has always wanted Shakun and I to do a film together because he felt somewhere that Shakun and I are very similar in our sensibilities.”

Director Shakun Batra opened up about finalising the title ‘Gehraiyaan’ with his co-writer Ayesha Devitre. “Ayesha came up with this title and it took me a little time (to be convinced), to be honest."
