Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga: Not Just Sonam Kapoor's, Even Rajkummar Rao's Character Struggles With Sexual Identity in The Film?
Earlier it was reported that Rajkumar Rao plays a gay man in the film!
Ever since the trailer of Sonam Kapoor and Rajkumar Rao starrer Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is out, there has been much curiosity about how the sensitive topic of homosexuality is discussed in the film. Sonam is apparently struggling with her sexual identity in the movie or so does the trailer suggests.
Earlier it was reported that Rajkumar Rao plays a gay man in the film who tends to fall for Sonam's character with her simplicity and honesty.
The title of the film beautifully disguises the core subject of the film and yet it retains the charisma of celebrating love in whichever form it comes, as the key lies in acceptance.The movie also alludes in several little ways to a same-sex love story, set in a traditional Indian family. The second half of the trailer suddenly hits you as it delivers what ‘unexpected’ actually means in myriad ways.

When we put this question to director Shelly Chorpa Dhar if there are more than one character who are struggling with their sexual identity or preferences in the movie, she said "revealing that will be like, revealing much about the film. But the film will have many characters, more than one for sure, that are multi layered and are not as concrete as you see in many commercial films. Each character has it's own way of functioning, operating and their preferences make this story interesting."

The makers are likely to make a formal announcement about this soon as they have promised us to give us much closer look into the movie and its theme.
