Rajasthan's acclaimed Sahitya Akademi winner, author Vijaydan Detha is one of the leading short story writers in India today. One of his longer short stories, 'Dohrijoon' (A Double Life) has been published (in Hindi) in the form of two volumes entitled 'Uijhan' and 'Duvidha'.

Duvidha (a retold Rajasthani folktale), the legendary Rajasthani love story , in particular is where Amol Palekar's newest film, 'Paheli' draws its inspiration. Duvidha is a folk tale, a unique love story full of colour and exuberance," says Palekar. Representing a major break from the past, it stars Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherjee as the lead characters. 'Paheli' also includes Amitabh Bachchan, Juhi Chawla and Sunil Shetty in special appearances.

Red Chillies Entertainment's Gauri Khan is producing the film, which boasts of elaborate sets, including a recreated sprawling haveli from the Rajasthani area of Navalgad, sync sound (not dubbing) and special effects, thanks to her extremely techno-savvy husband.
