For the uninitiated, Alia Bhatt starrer and Meghna Gulzar's directorial 'Razzi' was based on a novel 'Calling Sehmat' written by Harinder Sikaa.
Producer Dinesh Vijan rose to prominence for content-driven films. 'Stree', 'Bala', 'Mimi', and 'Bhediya' are some of the movies that have come from his banner. These movies deliver a powerful message in the garb of a comedy.
Rajkumar Rao, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Varun Dhawan have acted in the movies. So Dinesh has an eye for blending the star power with the content. Fans will eagerly wait for his new venture.
