Mumbai: With just a few days left for release, the makers of ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga’ released the second trailer of the film. The movie stars Sonam Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Juhi Chawla in lead roles and deals with the subject of same-sex relationship. It aims to showcase how love cannot be defined by boundaries of gender or societal norms.
The trailer’s tagline calls the film ‘a story of family, love,’ and ‘acceptance’, while the official description reads, “Love should not come with any labels and it should set one free. Sweety’s love story comes with a secret which complicates her relationship with her family. Will this secret be accepted by her family and society? Will her family come to terms with her secret and help?” And as the final clue, the marketing for the film comes with the hashtag, ‘set love free’.
The 1 minute-42 second long trailer portrays how Sonam’s Sweety Chaudhari is trying to explain to her family that her love is ‘different’ from what they conceive it to be. It shows how Sweety spoils her rapport with family members, who fail to accept her truth.
