Abhay has a past connect with his 'One by Two' director

Promo of One By Two has caught one's eye and Abhay Deol has all the reasons to smile. More so, since the film also marks his debut as a producer. Though the actor wanted to turn a filmmaker many years ago, his plans have finally been materialized with this film which is being pitched as a slice of life affair.

Interestingly, Abhay shares a pass connect as well with his director Devika Bhagat.

"Abhay and Devika have known each other ever since the latter wrote his Manorama Six Feet Under. The film has gained quite some acclaim over the years and has been categorized as cult today. Later, Devika also wrote Aisha which featured Abhay in a prominent role. Now that Abhay is returning as a solo lead with One by Two, Devika is making her debut as a director," informs a source attached to the film.

The film also marks Abhay on-screen reunion with live-in girlfriend Preeti Desai. She was last seen in Shor In The City (2011) many moons ago.
