‘Black’ child artist Ayesha Kapur to feature as lead opposite Anshuman Jha in ‘Hari-Om’

Ayesha Kapur, who was seen as a child artist in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Black’, is all set to feature as a lead opposite Anshuman Jha in ‘Hari-Om’.

The 28-year-old actor who went to study at Columbia in New York, has been working on her Hindi diction for nearly six months with Kulvinder Bakshish (Language coach who also trained Aamir Khan for Laal Singh Chaddha) and workshopping with Anshuman for ‘Hari-Om’.

Says Ayesha, “I am excited about getting back into acting and shooting for Hari-Om. It’s a sweet, family film which will touch a chord with everyone in some way. I like the simplicity with which Harish Sir writes his stories and fleshes out his characters. They are real and relatable. Also, this film has me working alongside celebrated actors like Raghuvir Yadav Sir and Soni Razdan ma’am. To be working with them and to be on the same frame as them will be an exciting learning experience for me. And it’s great to work with Anshuman because I really admire his acting and the script choices he makes. Looking forward to shooting in Madhya Pradesh.”

‘Hari-Om’, starring Anshuman Jha, Raghuvir Yadav, Soni Razdan, Ayesha Kapur and Manu Rishi Chaddha, goes on floor in September with its first schedule in Bhopal and will wrap up the final schedule in December.
