the film has just begun. Bhatia has co-written the film with
Supratik Sen.

Vivek Krishnani, Managing Director, Sony Pictures

Kapoor after the success of 102 Not Out.
“As we continue to ramp up our local production slate with a

keen focus on stories that audiences have never seen before,
we are extremely thrilled to get started on this family comedy.
The moment our partners Abhishek Chaubey and Honey
Trehan brought the story to us – we were sold on the idea,”

Krishnani said.
Abhishek Chaubey, Partner, MacGuffin Pictures said he is
looking forward to their association with SPIP and is doubly
excited about “working with Rishi ji and Juhi ji on a delightful

script penned by Hitesh and Supratik”.
Honey Trehan, Partner, MacGuffin Pictures added, “As
producers, we’ve always been interested in making films
across the genre spectrum, and I feel this is the perfect film for

MacGuffin Pictures to break into the comedy / family drama
genre – a pitch perfect entertainer that the whole family can
sit and watch together.”
