Bollywood actress Esha Deo Takhtani on Monday announced that she is set to star in the upcoming film “Ek Duaa”, which would also mark her as a producer debut. Helmed by Ramkamal Mukherjee.

According to PTI, the film will be backed by Esha and her businessman-husband, Bharat Takhtani, under the banner of Bharat Esha Films (BEF).

The actor, whose last big-screen outing in Bollywood was the 2011 drama “Tell Me O Khuda”, said she decided to turn producer as she connected deeply with the film’s script.

“When I was approached with ‘Ek Duaa’ as an actress, I felt a deeper connection with the script. I just knew, I had to support the film, the cause, and would want to be associated with it as a producer too. It opened the doors for Bharat and me to start another innings as partners,” Esha said in a statement.

The actress took a sabbatical from work after her marriage to Bharat in 2012. The couple has two daughters.

The 39-year old actor said, “Ek Duaa” aligned with the kind of work she was hungry to do.

“Ek Duaa”, co-produced by Venky’s and Assorted Motion Pictures, the film will premiere soon on the streaming platform Voot Select.

Apart from the film, Esha will also be seen in the Disney + Hotstar VIP crime-drama series ‘Rudra- The Edge of Darkness’ with superstar Ajay Devgn.
