Gali Gali Mein Shor Hai to release on 3 February
MUMBAI: Gali Gali Mein Chor Hai, produced by Nitin Manmohan under his banner One Up Entertainment, is being readied for release on 3 February, next year.
Directed by Rumy Jafry, the film features Akshaye Khanna and Shriya Saran in the lead.
“I suppose the average Indian‘s tolerance power has reached breaking-point. When we started Gali-Gali Mein Shor Hai, Anna Hazare‘s campaign and all its offshoots had just started. As we completed the film we realised how deep-rooted people‘s resentment against corruption had become,” Jafry told reporters.
While Akshaye Khanna plays a frustrated, disillusioned common man in the film, Shriya plays his wife. Mugdha Godse essays the role of a call centre employee.
The film also has an item number The item bomb Channo picturised on Pakistani actress Veena Malik.

Rajesh Ramaswamy exits The Script Room to focus on filmmaking journey
Ad filmmaker steps away from own venture to pursue direction and storytelling
MUMBAI: In a move that has caught the attention of the advertising and creative community, Rajesh Ramaswamy has announced his exit from The Script Room, the company he co-founded, marking the end of a seven-year stint at the helm.
The decision, which came into effect earlier this month, signals a shift in focus for Ramaswamy, who is now looking to immerse himself fully in filmmaking and direction as an independent creative.
Known for blending sharp advertising insight with storytelling craft, Ramaswamy has been instrumental in shaping The Script Room into a creative hub that delivered campaigns, branded content, and original storytelling formats. Over the years, the company collaborated with agencies, directors, and a wide network of writers, while also experimenting with formats such as short films and web series.
Sharing his thoughts on the transition, Ramaswamy indicated that the move is driven by a desire to focus and explore stories he has been developing over time. While he acknowledged the unconventional nature of stepping away from one’s own venture, he also framed it as a necessary leap toward clarity and creative pursuit.
Importantly, The Script Room will continue its operations with its current team and leadership, with Ramaswamy expressing confidence in the group that helped build the company’s identity. The studio, he noted, remains well-positioned to evolve further with fresh talent and ideas.
His exit also reflects a wider industry trend, where experienced advertising professionals are increasingly transitioning into independent filmmaking, tapping into the growing opportunities across digital and long-form content platforms.
As Ramaswamy steps into this new phase, the move underscores a familiar creative instinct, sometimes, the boldest ideas begin with a clean break.
