Hema Malini's film, Tell Me Oh Khuda, the one she had planned for her daughter Esha is finally in its pre-production stage.

Starring Arjan Bajwa opposite Esha, the film is about a girl who is on the search for her father. It bears too much resemblance to Hema Malini's first and only film as a director, Dil Aashna Hai which was about a girl on the lookout for her mother and starred Divya Bharati and Shah Rukh Khan.

The film will be directed by Om Shanti Om's dialogue writer and Dhoom's associate director, Mayur Puri.

Arjan was thrilled to meet Hema Malini and was overjoyed when she said that she had liked his work in Fashion.

Tell Me Oh Khuda is supposed to be Esha's Bollywood re-launch. The film will commence shooting from the end of this year.
