By Bollywood Hungama News Network, September 20, 2011 - 12:50 IST
Fox Star Studios, Vishal Bhardwaj Pictures, Ajay Devgn Films & Wide Frame Pictures have come together to make a hilarious new film uniquely titled Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola. The film has a hugely talented star cast with Ajay Devgn and Anushka Sharma being paired together for the first time ever. Vishal Bhardwaj will don multiple roles of producer, director, writer and music composer for this ambitious project.
"Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is a very special film for us at Fox Star Studios - it brings together the extremely talented director Vishal Bhardwaj, Bollywood's most successful and consistent actor across genres Ajay Devgn and the industry veteran Kumar Mangat of Wide Frame. We believe the nationwide appeal of this hilariously rustic comedy, the coming together of great talent and a title which raises eyebrows will make this an eventful film for audiences in 2012," said Vijay Singh, CEO of Fox Star Studios.
"I have had the idea for this comedy in my head for a long time, almost 8 years. It's a totally new genre and completely different from what I have done in my previous 7 films. I was also missing working with Ajay for some time. He is such great actor and an even greater human being. I am so much in sync him that the wait to be on set is killing. As for Anushka, I would say that she is a ball of energy and I am looking forward to shooting with her," said producer and director Vishal Bhardwaj
"Vishal Bhardwaj is an incredible director who has the ability to bring out the best in any actor. When Vishal told me that he was looking at creating a comedy & he narrated the script I was immediately excited and became a part of this project in more ways than one - as an actor as well as a producer," says actor-producer Ajay Devgn.
Meanwhile Kumar Mangat of Wide Frame Pictures adds, "I have known Ajay for a long time and working with him has always been a pleasure. I am really happy that we have managed to get great partners together on this exciting project. With the combination of fantastic talent, the strength and skills of Fox Star Studios & with Vishalji directing, I feel we have a great film on our hands already."
Gulzar will be writing the lyrics for this film. The music will definitely connect with audiences in its unique rustic/folklore ways, which will add hugely to the wonderful combination of the skills and talent involved in this project.
From the looks of it, this is certainly one film to watch out for in the second half of 2012.
