New Delhi: Actors Randeep Hooda and Neena Gupta are all set to star in Panorama Studios' romantic comedy 'Pachhattar Ka Chhora'.
Produced by JJ Creations LLP and Shivam Cinema Vision, the film is directed by Jayant Gilatar and began production in Rajsamand, Rajasthan on Monday.
Gulshan Grover and Sanjay Mishra are playing significant roles in the film. Princess Diya Kumari, the MP from Rajsamand, gave the 'muhurat' shot of the film. She attended the event with Rivaba Jadeja, an MLA from Jamnagar, Gujarat and wife of cricketer Ravindra Jadeja.
"This one is unlike any that I have done before, a romantic drama with an undercurrent of situational humour that will hopefully leave audiences in splits while giving them some fodder for thought. Believe me when I say, you have not seen a love story like this before,” Randeep said in a statement.
Kumar Mangat Pathak, chairman Panorama Studios, said they have always backed interesting subjects and the film "struck a chord" with them immediately.
"With audiences having exposure to cinema from across the world now, we are looking out for stories that will be different yet entertaining. 'Pachhattar Ka Chhora' is a film that talks about a very important aspect of life in a lighter vein. We are looking forward to bringing this journey of a 75-year-young man,” he said.
Gilatar has directed 'Akbar-Birbal', Marathi films 'Sadarakshanaay' and 'Ranbhoomi'. His 'Natasamrat' in Gujarati, was another big hit. In Hindi, he has directed 'Chalk N Duster'.
“I have always been drawn to unconventional subjects rather than the run-of-the-mill. 'Pachhattar Ka Chhora' is a perfect fit and I am excited to start the journey of this film today. That the story will be told through two powerhouse performers, Randeep and Neenaji, is an added bonus,” the filmmaker said.
