'Gehraiyaan is not just a movie,' says Shakun Batra who is back in the director's chair after Kapoor & Sons.

'It is a journey into the intricacies of human relationships,' adds the director. 'It is a mirror into modern adult relationships, how we traverse through the maze of feelings and emotions and how each step, each decision we make affects our lives and the lives of those around.'
