ESHA DEOL TO PLAY CHEF IN SHORT FILM

Actress Esha Deol, who hasn’t been seen on the big screen for a while, will play a chef in a Hindi short film Cakewalk. The film is to be directed by her mother Hema Malini’s biographer Ram Kamal Mukherjee, and Abhra Chakraborty. In the short, Esha will depict the professional and personal journey of a woman in Indian society. “The idea of making a film came into Ram Kamal’s mind while he was interviewing me for his book on my mother,” Esha, who took a break from films after marriage and motherhood, said in a statement. Last October, she and husband Bharat Takhtani had a baby girl Radhya, and since then she has been enjoying the motherhood phase.
