Says Ayesha on Hari-Om as her leading lady debut vehicle- 'I am excited about getting back into acting and shooting for Hari-Om. It's a sweet, family film that will touch a chord with everyone somehow. 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 & Soni Razdan ma'am. Working with them and being in the same frame as them will be an exciting learning experience for me. And it's great to work with Anshuman because I admire his acting and his script choices. Looking forward to shooting in Madhya Pradesh.'
