A Netflix original film, Pagglait, was released this year and it was a quirky delight for all the movie lovers and it received a decent amount of critics' acclaim too. The producer duo of this film, Ekta Kapoor and Guneet Monga have stepped up and signed for another project with filmmaker Umesh Bist for a three-film deal.
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, the Creative Producer and Executive Vice President of Balaji Telefilms, stated, "Pagglait resonated with Indian audiences in unimaginable ways. Everyone found a connection with the story and that is Umesh’s biggest strength. Furthermore, the film established equity between Balaji and Sikhya and we’re thrilled to come together to tell stories that are both emotional and entertaining, stories that find their way to the hearts of the audience."
Confirming the news and further elaborating about this three-film deal, Umesh Bist said, "It all started when I first met Guneet in 2018 and there's no looking back since then. As a filmmaker, all you want is a collaborative ecosystem where the team puts all their might into doing the best for the movie and I am glad I found this in Sikhya and Balaji. The trust they put in a director is rare. As partners, they add on to each other's strong points, I am excited to take this journey forward with them."
Further details will be updated soon.
