Many upcoming movies are generating curiosity amongst movie buffs. Ajay Devgan who is fresh from his last release ‘All the Best’ is in news for his upcoming venture named ‘Athithi Tum Kab Jaaoge’. There are quite a few gossips about the inspiration of the movie. Some gossip columns talked about movie being a copy of a Hollywood movie whereas some other attributed its story to some other sources. But recently the producer of the movie Kumar Mangat cleared all the confusion in a press conference. He said the movie is inspired from a book.
Well known satirist Late Sharad Joshi had written a short story named Tum Kab Jaoge Atithi and the movie in question is based on the same book. Movie stars Ajay Devgan and Konkana Sen along with Paresh Rawal who is apparently playing the role of Atihti. The team of the movie has yet to release any poster or look of the film. Only the working still of the movie has been released. The movie is co-produced by reputed Hollywood production house Warner Bros Picture India in association with Amita Pathak’s banner Wide Frame Films. Though the poster of the movie does look similar to a Hollywood movie but similarity ends there.
The theme of the movie, as the name suggests is quite humorous and based on a common problem faced by many Indian households, i.e., having guests that never leave. This movie is the first production venture of Amita Pathak and those who don’t know her yet, she is the daughter of Kumar Mangat who has got quite a reputation in films production. The movie will be directed by Ashwin Dhir and will be shot in a flat duration of 50 days in the Yashraj studios. The movie is supposed to release on 26th of February.
