A film starring former Bollywood stars Harman Baweja and Genelia D’Souza is set to release 13 years after its conception. The film, which also features Nana Patekar and comedian Kapil Sharma, was shot back in 2007 but never saw the light of the day. Notably, the makers of the film have opted for a direct-to-TV release. Zee Cinema and filmmaker Boney Kapoor have joined hands to release the film, a Hindi remake of the blockbuster Telugu film Bommarillu. Kapoor said the film was made with the thought of highlighting unadulterated family equations and complexities between a father and son. He expressed hope that the film will strike a chord with viewers.
"Television has always been a great way to reach out to a wide set of audience and we are glad to share our movie for the first time ever with the viewers. "Partnering with Zee Cinema for the direct to TV release has been an absolute joy as we believe it’s the perfect family entertainment channel to be showcasing this film," Kapoor said in a statement. Directed by Anees Bazmee and also produced by actor Sanjay Kapoor, the film is a light-hearted family entertainer. Bazmee said he hopes the family entertainer cheers up the audience amid the unprecedented times due to the coronavirus pandemic. The original Telugu was released in 2006 and featured actors Siddharth, Prakash Raj and Jayasudha.
