Earlier this year, Umesh Bist gave us the delightful Pagglait, whose strengths lay as much in its reliable lead Sanya Malhotra as in its charming storytelling. After the success of the black comedy, the director has bagged a three-film deal with producers Ekta Kapoor and Guneet Monga.
Bist, who had first met Monga in 2018, says that their shared creative sensibilities laid the roots for a deep friendship. The development of Pagglait got a further boost when Kapoor came on board. “As a filmmaker, all you want is a collaborative eco-system where the team puts its might in doing the best for the movie. I am glad I found this in Sikhya Entertainment and Balaji Telefilms. The trust they put in a director is rare. As partners, they add to each other’s strengths,” says the director, excited about taking the journey ahead with them.
