MUMBAI: Balaji Motion Pictures Limited, the motion pictures arm of Balaji Telefilms, has partnered with critically acclaimed director, producer and screenwriter Bejoy Nambiar to produce a comedy film titled Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi.

Currently underproduction, Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi will be directed by National award winning ad-filmmaker Aman Sachdeva. The film will star Siddharth Gupta and former Miss India Simran Kaur.

Balaji Motion Pictures CEO Tanuj Garg said, "We are delighted to partner a creative talent like Bejoy Nambiar on a film that we believe is clearly among the most hilarious and entertaining scripts we‘ve read."

Talking about the new project, Bejoy said, "The director held a long audition process over several months. We were very clear about wanting a fresh face. Lots of youngsters were auditioned and I went to Balaji with the tapes. It took us around five odd months to lock Siddharth for the role."

"This is our third venture at Getaway Films and the first one that I am not directing. Aman (Sachdeva) makes his directorial feature debut and we couldn‘t have asked for a better alliance than one with Balaji on our pet project," he adds.
