‘Great Grand Masti’s first look leaves the audience spell bound
MUMBAI: Sri Adhikari Brothers and Anand Pandit, joint producers of Great Grand Masti along with ALT entertainment and Maruti international, have revealed the first look of the much awaited installment of the super successful movie franchise- Masti which is directed by the renowned director -Indra Kumar. The event was a full house, packed with the awesome threesome- Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani and Vivek Oberoi starring in the movie and a hoard of attendees that were left spell bound.
The third installment of the popular movie franchisee is all set to release on July 22.
Bollywood’s first tryst with screwball comedy, Masti, was a super hit. It tickled the funny bone and still struck an emotional chord with the audiences.
Anand Pandit said, “With Great Grand Masti we promise to take entertainment to the next level with a surprise supernatural twist to the story. The latest movie will see the entry of ravishing beauty and supermodel Urvashi Rautela.”
While the first movie focused on how an attempt to spice up their life by having extra-marital affairs made the lives of the protagonist hell, the second part was known for its slapstick humor.
Talking on the occasion, Indra Kumar stated, “Sri Adhikari Brothers have been the pioneers in comedy content creation. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Sri Adhikari Brothers and Anand Pandit.”
Sri Adhikari Brothers vice president and managing director Markand Adhikari stated “The Masti franchise has always been one that is to be watched out for and we are positive that the audiences will enjoy the movie. I am glad that our association will extend, as we initiate work on the sequel of Sanjay Dutt starrer Dhamaal series – “Total Dhamaal”.”
