Esha Deol launches production house Bharat Esha Films with husband

Esha Deol Takhtani on Monday announced Bharat Esha Films, a production house she has launched with husband Bharat Takhtani.

The first film to be backed by this production house is "Ek Duaa" directed by Ram Kamal Mukherjee, who earlier directed the actress in the short film "Cakewalk". The film stars Esha in the lead.

"Overwhelmed to share with you all that under the banner of Bharat Esha Films (BEF) we are launching our first film as producers -- Ek Duaa," Esha wrote on Instagram.

Revealing what encouraged her to turn producer for the film, the actress said: "When I was approached with 'Ek Duaa' as an actress, I felt a deeper connect 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."

"Directed by @ramkamalmukherjee Co produced by @venkysuttarafoods @venkyschicken @bharattakhtani3 @amppvtltd Coming soon on @vootselect! #BharatEshaFilms #BEF #EkDuaa," Esha added on social media.
