Mumbai: Filmmaker Ashwni Dhir will be reuniting with actor Ajay Devgn for a comedy on the lines of their 2012 hit "Son of Sardaar".
"We
(Ajay and I) are doing a film together. It will be a comedy. like 'Son
of Sardaar'. Maybe it will be a 'Son of Sardaar 2'. All I can confirm is
that, it will be about a sardar. It will be a fun family film," Dhir
told PTI.
The yet-to-be-titled film will roll from November-December and might release on Diwali next year.
"As
we start in November-December it will take six- seven months to
complete, so maybe a Diwali release. But I am not sure about it. The
release date part I leave it for Ajay to decide. He himself is a
producer so he will take a call," he added.
The filmmaker is
also working on a show for Star Plus titled "Har Shaakh Pe Ullu Baitha
Hai". The 49-year-old writer-director said the concept of the show was
his, but the title came from the channel officials.
The TV soap,
which features comedian Rajeev Nigam in the lead role, is a stark
reflection of how the common man is unaware of the schemes and policies
of the government.
"I am not targeting anybody. I am trying to
scratch common man's heart or mind. This is the scenario about people
whose hard earned money is being misused since ages and it will continue
to.
"The bank scam that has happened now has common man's money
involved in it. We are paying taxes for the betterment of our life. But
we have become immune to these things (scams) it seems," he said.
Dhir,
who garnered immense appreciation as the writer of popular satirical TV
show "Office Office", said, "Satire comes when you can't express your
anger or pain."
In the past, he has also produced popular television shows like "Chidiya Ghar" and "Lapataganj".
