Hema Malini Delays Esha's Film for Her Step Sons

Hema Malini has been supporting her daughter Esha Deol from the very beginning of her acting career. She has worked really hard to help her daughter in having a comeback in the industry with her own production Tell Me Oh Khuda (TMOK). To the rescue of their daughter, even Dharmendra jee has broken a self imposed rule that he would never share screen space along with his daughter and he would appear in TMOK with Esha Deol. The best part of TMOK is that Arjan Bajwa is the hero in this film. Good at least the lead character is good looking.

However, Hema Malini ji has a big heart and is a lovely wife. She supported her husband and step sons, Bobby Deol and Sunny Deol by delaying the release date of TMOK so that the guys in the family would be able to get the due attention they need for Yamla Pagla Deewana (YMD). They felt YMD was to be kept on priority and being the super cool family that they are, they took some time to work more on TMOK's editing and final touches.

She said that one family picture has made way for another family picture. And they would not have been ready to deal with the pressure of handling two films together so it's a better for everyone that first YMD is released and then TMOK.

Esha Deol learns direction and editing on sets of Tell Me Oh Khuda

By the end of her re-launch film Tell Me Oh Khuda, Esha Deol is a skilled film technician. Says Esha, "Throughout the making of Tell Me Oh Khuda, I was learning on the job. Today I am ready to direct. But I first need to build my position as an actress."

Says Esha, "I've learnt plenty on the technical side of filmmaking during Tell Me Of Khuda. But it's a bit early for me to change lanes."

Esha who become a bit of recluse, is ready to strike back. Her home production Tell Me Oh Khuda is being put together by Esha's mom Hema Malini and Esha frame by frame to make sure the re-launch is just right.

While Hema confirms that Esha is indeed sitting on the film's editing, Esha admits, "I'm helping mom out. Yeah I am sitting on the editing. Throughout Tell Me Oh Khuda, I was an assistant. I've learnt so much from behind the camera. Now I'm learning how to edit. So this film has been a perfect training ground for me."
Esha doesn't rule out the possibility of direction.
One advantage of a home production is, you can learn on the job. Esha Deol is not just the leading lady of her mother Hema Malini's production Tell Me Oh Khuda, she's also the assistant director and her mother's chief technical advisor.

"I know I can direct a film anytime," says Esha who celebrated her birthday in November with a theme party.
Says Esha, "Everyone was supposed to dress up in the 1980s style. It was great fun. Usually I am not the party-party kind. But for the last year because of my involvement with our home production, I've been so cut off from all my friends I just decided to re-connect with them for my birthday."
