'Black' fame child actor Ayesha Kapur to romance Anshuman Jha in 'Hari-Om'

Ayesha Kapur charmed everyone with her performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Black’, which released in 2005. Years later, Ayesha is all set to mark her debut as a leading lady. The 28-year-old has completed her education at Columbia University in New York and is prepping for ‘Hari Om’. Before she begins shoot, Ayesha trained extensively with Anushuman Jha and she has also worked on her Hindi diction for nearly six months with Kulvinder Bakshish, the language coach who trained Aamir Khan in Punjabi for ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’.

Speaking about the film, Ayesha shared, “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 very 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’ is set to go on floors this month, the film’s first schedule will take place in Bhopal and the team plans to wrap the shoot in December.
