BIG
Pictures,
a
division
of
Reliance
BIG
Entertainment,
and
Vashu
Bhagnani
owned
Puja
Films
have
joined
hands
to
co-produce
five
Hindi
feature
films
over
the
next
24
months.
This
announcement
was
made
by
officials
of
Reliance
BIG
Entertainment
with
Vashu
Bhagnani,
Chairman
-
Puja
Films
at
the
sets
of
Do
Knot
Disturb,
one
of
the
two
film
projects
already
commenced.
These
films
will
be
financed,
marketed
and
distributed
worldwide
by
Reliance
BIG
Entertainment.
Two
projects
out
of
this
five
film
co-production
deal
between
BIG
Pictures
and
Puja
Films
have
commenced
principal
photography.
Both
projects
are
being
aimed
for
release
during
the
first
half
of
calendar
year
2009.
The
first
project
to
start
principal
photography
last
week
in
Mumbai
is
titled
Do
Knot
Disturb
and
is
being
directed
by
David
Dhawan.
The
film
stars
Govinda,
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Sushmita
Sen
and
Lara
Dutta.
Do
Knot
Disturb
has
music
by
Nadeem
Sharavan,
which
is
being
arranged
by
Viju
Shah.
The
film
is
currently
being
shot
on
a
huge
set
in
a
farmhouse
in
Delhi
and
the
unit
will
return
to
Mumbai
for
shooting
in
the
first
week
of
July.
Do
Knot
Disturb
is
slated
to
be
one
of
the
most
eagerly
awaited
films
next
year,
as
it
is
David
Dhawan's
first
film
after
hugely
successful
Partner
in
2007
(which
incidentally
also
starred
Govinda
and
Lara
Dutta
along
with
Salman
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif).
The
second
project
Kal
Kissne
Dekha,
also
started
principal
photography
last
week
in
Johannesburg,
South
Africa.
The
film
marks
the
debut
of
Vashu
Bhagnani's
son
Jackky
Bhagnani,
who
has
earlier
assisted
Vashu
in
production
of
several
films
produced
by
Puja
Films.
Kal
Kissne
Dekha
is
directed
by
Vivek
Sharma
(last
film,
Bhootnath)
and
stars
Vaishali
Desai,
Rishi
Kapoor
and
Archana
Puran
Singh
in
pivotal
roles.
The
film
has
music
by
immensely
popular
Sajid
Wajid,
who
have
given
some
of
the
biggest
musical
hits
over
the
past
few
years.
Kal
Kissne
Dekha
will
be
shot
in
South
Africa
for
over
45
days
across
Johannesburg,
Durban
and
Capetown.
While
Kal
Kissne
Dekha
is
a
young,
romantic
love
story
with
elements
of
thrill
and
action
inter-woven
in
the
story,
Do
Knot
Disturb
is
an
out
and
out
comedy
typical
of
David
Dhawan
films.
Commenting
on
the
development,
Vashu
Bhagnani,
Chairman
-
Puja
Films,
said,
"We
are
extremely
happy
to
partner
with
Reliance
BIG
Entertainment.
This
partnership
will
bring
about
a
synergy
of
the
creative
and
production
expertise
of
Puja
Films
with
the
vast
business
knowledge
and
experience
of
Reliance."
Rajesh
Sawhney,
President
-
Reliance
BIG
Entertainment
added,
"We
are
delighted
at
the
commencement
of
two
films
under
this
deal,
which
we
believe
will
be
two
of
the
most
eagerly
awaited
films
in
2009.
We
have
already
started
work
on
the
strategic
marketing
and
distribution
plan
for
these
films
and
will
endeavour
to
make
these
films
available
to
the
widest
audience
possible
when
these
films
release
next
year."
