Sonam Kapoor and dad Anil Kapoor are uniting on the screen for the first time ever in the upcoming romcom, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. However, that's not the union that the movie boasts of. Sonam Kapoor will also be reuniting with her Dolly Ki Doli co-star Rajkummar Rao. Meanwhile Anil Kapoor will be paired once again with one of his popular heroines, Juhi Chawla in the movie. Juhi and Anil made for a quite popular onscreen pair in the '90s, having starred together in movies like Benaam Badshah, Deewana Mastana, Loafer, Jhooth Bole Kauwa Kate. They were last seen together playing a married couple facing the dilemma of infidelity in 2007's Salaam-e-Ishq.

Coming to Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, the movie marks the directorial debut of Shelly Chopra Dhar. The main leads in the movie shared their first picture (seen above) from the sets of the movie through their social networking handles, as they began shooting for the movie.

Sonam Kapoor tweeted,

Here's what Juhi Chawla had to say,

Rajkummar Rao tweeted this,

Anil Kapoor couldn't contain his happiness, as he shared,

Anil Kapoor's bearded salt-n-pepper look is quite intriguing for sure. In an earlier interview to Mid-Day, director Shelly Chopra Dhar, had this to say about her senior hero, "Anil is like a kid, extremely excited about his role. His character sports a look that hasn't been seen on him in a long time. We will be shooting at a family house in Patiala, which is a perfect setting for the film. I am shooting entirely at real locations as I want the film to develop as organically as possible. We can't wait to start rolling now."

Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is scheduled to release later this year.
