The legendary actors, Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Kapur are all set to come together on the big screen and this news has excited all the fans.
The two actors will be seen opposite each other in a rom-com titled ‘Jab Khuli Kitaab‘ by Applause Entertainment.
The movie will also see Aparshakti Khurana in a pivotal role along with Samir Soni, Nauheed Cyrusi, and others.
Jab Khuli Kitaab is a stage-to-screen adaptation of the Saurabh Shukla play, with the same title. The movie will revolve around an older couple seeking a divorce after fifty years of togetherness. The film deals with the dysfunctionality of relationships and its impact on the family. This movie will show a rare Hindi comedy and romance that will be enjoyed by all age groups.
As per reports, Sameer Nair, CEO, Applause Entertainment, said, “Jab Khuli Kitaab has an endearing, exciting idea at its core, which completely sets it apart from other romances. This film disrupts the usual tropes and reflects how love at any age can turn into a messy and inflammable affair. The script is sharp, observant and hilarious in equal measure, complemented by our wonderful ensemble of actors, led by the remarkable Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia. We are delighted to be collaborating with Saurabh Shukla and Shoe Strap Films for this truly special film.”
Writer-Director-Producer Saurabh Shukla says, “Jab Khuli Kitaab is very close to my heart and I’m thrilled to have stalwarts like Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia as my leads. We all say that one should be transparent and clean in any relationship but how many of us are open to face the truth in our own relationships? The film is a rom-com with a couple in their 70s. You see them doing what any teenager will do in their relationships. The film is a joyride where you laugh, fall in love and cry with this unique couple. I’m thankful to Sameer Nair for supporting me and making this happen.”
Naren Kumar, producer, Shoe Strap films stated “This is a one of its kind film which deals with the love-hate relationship of a husband and wife. It’s very quirky, funny, and emotional. The real star of the film is its script and these veteran actors added more magic to it. I think it will relate to masses and classes alike. We are really excited to collaborate with Applause Entertainment for our maiden film production under Shoe Strap Films and we feel it is our first step towards making many more movies together.”
The film is set in the beautiful cities of Uttarakhand and has just wrapped up its start-to-finish schedule in Ranikhet.
