In an exclusive interview, director Aleya Sen opens up about her upcoming film, 'Trial Period,' and sheds light on her decision to cast actress Genelia Deshmukh and other talented actors for this unique project. Sen expresses her deep affection for the film, stating that it holds a special place in her heart. As a filmmaker, she is drawn to exploring the unconventional dynamics of human relationships, and 'Trial Period' was born from the perspective of a no-filter-thinking Gen Alpha kid who makes an unexpected demand, turning his mother's world upside down. With its quirky take on the complexities of imperfect families in today's society, the film promises to be an endearing tale of an unconventional family bond.
Set to premiere on July 21, 'Trial Period' is produced by Chrome Pictures and features a stellar cast.

The film delves into an emotional rollercoaster, unraveling the intricacies of love and the challenges faced by modern imperfect families.
Sen expresses her excitement about working with Genelia Deshmukh and Manav Kaul, stating that Deshmukh was the first actress she approached for the role, and she considers herself fortunate to have both of them on board. The director is particularly thrilled about the unorthodox lead pairing and the opportunity to work with an exceptional ensemble cast that includes talents like Gajraj Rao, Shakti Kapoor, Sheeba Chaddha, and the promising newcomer Zidane.
Looking ahead, Sen hopes that 'Trial Period' will evoke a range of emotions among viewers and challenge the traditional narrative of the Indian family. With a heartfelt invitation, she encourages audiences to enjoy this family entertainer with their loved ones on JioCinema. The film follows the journey of Ana, a single mother portrayed by Genelia Deshmukh, whose life takes an unexpected turn when her curious son demands a father on a trial period of 30 days.
