Rohan Sippy & Nilesh Sahay collaborate on festival-themed action comedy
Mumbai: Director Rohan Sippy and Actor and filmmaker Nilesh Sahay have joined forces to create a highly anticipated holiday action comedy, titled “Iss Diwali.”
Sippy, who has directed films such as “Nautanki Saala,” “Dum Maaro Dum,” and “Bluffmaster,” will be collaborating with Sahay, who earlier wrote, produced and directed the film “Squad” starring Rinzing Denzongpa. This exciting new venture is a thrilling holiday action comedy that unfolds during the festive season of Diwali, set against the backdrop of political intrigue.
The film is presented by industry veterans Ramesh Sippy and Zaheeda and is produced by Rohan Sippy, Roopa De Choudhury, Brajesh Sahaya and Nilesh Sahay. Casting for “Iss Diwali” is currently in progress, with announcements to be made in due course.
“I’ve loved watching films that feature chemistry between charismatic leads, from Do Aur Do Paanch & Ram Balram to Main Khiladi Tu Anaari & the original Bade Miyaan Chote Miyaan, and later making films like Bluffmaster and Taxi No 9 2 11… so it is very exciting to take Iss Diwali forward which continues this tradition, with the magic & emotion of our most important family festival adding to the genre’s appeal” said Rohan Sippy.
“There’s nothing better than to celebrate the holidays with an amazing family entertainer and ‘Iss Diwali’ promises just that along with tackling a major issue in today’s society. When I wrote the film I knew Rohan would be the absolute best person to make it, as he has handled edgy light entertainers fantastically. We will bring in action that will be created for all age groups of audiences where they will be thrilled, entertained and engaged. Iss Diwali is gonna be one hell of a ride for cinegoers I promise you that” added Nilesh Sahay
