The trailer of Gehraiyaan gave glimpses of Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi's sizzling chemistry. The Shakun Batra-directorial will be premiering on Amazon Prime Video on February 11 and co-stars Ananya Panday, Dhairya Karwa and Naseeruddin Shah. Now, ahead of the film's release, intimacy director Dar Gai, who worked with the team of Gehraiyaan closely, spoke about whether Deepika, Siddhant, Ananya and Dhairya had any inhibitions while shooting for intimate scenes.
The India-based Ukrainian intimacy director shared with a leading daily, "I think the biggest inhibition was mine. I was not sure what I would do, coming on the sets. I was not sure if actors will listen to, or were even willing to attend my workshops. A lot of things came from Shakun. He was so confident of my role, that kind of influenced the way how everyone in the crew looked at me, and the importance of intimacy direction in the film."

She added, "When I first entered my workshop, there was already a lot of trust between me and the actors. They were ready to experiment and try something they haven't. For example, the workshops that I did with Deepika and Siddhant were different from what we did with all of them together - Ananya, Dhairya. But, not even once, I felt any hesitation from their side. No one was like I do not want to do this. All of them were absolutely equal to each other, in terms of their eagerness to do something new. I guess that was very inspiring for me."
Gehraiyaan is one of the few Indian films to credit Dar as the intimacy director.
