Trial Period director Aleya Sen opens up about casting Genelia Deshmukh

The director of the upcoming film Trial Period, Aleya Sen, opened up about the film and on casting Genelia Deshmukh. The film will premiere on JioCinema on July 21.

"Trial Period holds a very special place in my heart. As a filmmaker, I like to explore the unconventional dynamics of human relationships. Father on Rent as an idea germinated from the perspective of a no-filter thinking Gen Alpha kid, who makes an unexpected demand, turning his mother’s world upside down. The film has a quirky take on the complexities of imperfect families in today's society,” she was quoted as saying.

Aleya, who also wrote the film, has directed Genelia along with the cast comprising of Manav Kaul, Shakti Kapoor, Sheeba Chadda, Gajraj Rao, and Zidane Braz in significant roles. The film is expected to showcase the love and complexities of modern imperfect families. Genelia will play the role of a single mother Ana whose son demands a father on a basis of a trial period for 30 days.

"Genelia is the first actress I approached and I was lucky, with both Genelia and Manav. In addition to the unorthodox lead pairing, I was excited to work with a great ensemble cast that includes the likes of Gajraj Rao, Shakti Kapoor, Sheeba Chaddha, and last but not the least, Zidane,” Sen added.
