Filmmaker Mohit Suri, known for directing films like Murder 2, Aashiqui 2, and Ek Villain, is set to helm a new romantic drama in partnership with Yash Raj Films. Described as a ‘young love story,’ the film will mark the debut production venture for YRF’s CEO, Akshaye Widhani.
A senior trade source said, “Aditya Chopra, who is the creative force at YRF, is empowering Akshaye Widhani and his leadership team to build creative partnerships with the most brilliant minds in the Hindi film industry. Adi’s protege Akshaye Widhani, will run this arm of business and will produce his first film.”
The source further added, “The company will produce a young love story that will touch your hearts, and they have partnered with one of the best film-makers of this genre, Mohit Suri. Mohit has delivered huge hits with this genre, and he will direct this film aimed at the youth of the country.”
Although many details about the film remain undisclosed, it has been revealed that the movie will feature newcomers in the lead roles. The project is currently without a title. The source also mentioned, “Mohit has an amazing track record of making soul-stirring romantic films throughout his career and he is being backed by a banner like YRF that is known to have produced the biggest romantic films that this country has ever seen. This combination makes the project extremely exciting.”
Mohit Suri’s most recent directorial venture, ‘Ek Villain Returns,’ featured Disha Patani, Tara Sutaria, John Abraham, and Arjun Kapoor. However, the film did not match the success of its predecessor. Mohit Suri, known for directing films like ‘Zeher,’ ‘Kalyug,’ and ‘Awarapan,’ has consistently delivered hit films in the romance genre. On the personal front, Mohit Suri is married to former actress Udita Goswami and is related to Alia, Shaheen and Emraan Hashmi of the Bhatt family.
