An upcoming venture that pays tribute to Rituparno Ghosh will mark Celina Jaitley's return to cinema after seven years. Ram Kamal Mukherjee's offering is particularly special for the actor, given that, like the openly-gay filmmaker, Jaitley too is an active proponent of the LGBTQ community.

"I am happy to be part of Ram Kamal's film, A Tribute To Rituparno Ghosh: Season's Greetings, because when he narrated the story to me in Dubai, I got goosebumps. Post marriage, and becoming a mother, I was looking for a subject that would excite me. Since I have been associated with the LGTBQIA movement since 18 years, I [am happy to] act in a film that deals with the issue," Jaitly tells mid-day.
