Amitabh and Ayushmann come together for Gulabo Sitabo Amitabh and Ayushmann come together for Gulabo Sitabo After presenting the audience with a soulful
Mother's Day rendition, Shoojit Sircar and Amitabh
Bachchan have joined hands yet again for a quirky
comedy. Titled Gulabo Sitabo, the film brings
together senior Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana for
the first time.
Written by Juhi Chaturvedi and bankrolled by Ronnie
Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, the film will be set in
Lucknow.
Talking about the project, Shoojit Sircar said,
"Juhi and I have been working on this script for
quite some time and as we all know when Juhi comes
up with a story, it has her trademark quirk in it.
As soon as I read it, I was extremely excited and
shared it with Ronnie, my dear friend and producer,
and to both Mr Bachchan and Ayushmann at the same
time."
Sircar also shared how Big B and Ayushmann were
convinced about the script and readily accepted the
offer. "I thought it would take some time to develop
and proceed but everyone including the duo were so
enthusiastic to do this script that they figured
their dates and here we are, planning to release it
this year. After Piku and Vicky Donor, I had been
wanting to work with Mr Bachchan and Ayushmann on an
equally quirky script so this fell perfectly in
place," he said.
Gulabo Sitabo is a metaphor used by the locals of
Uttar Pradesh, explained the filmmaker. "The story
is based in Lucknow, and Gulabo Sitabo is a fun
colloquial metaphor used by the locals. Wait and
watch the film to know more," shared Sircar.
Gulabo Sitabo is expected to be released in November
2019.
