'Dangal' and 'Chillar Party' team reunite for a movie!

After directing the
biggest hit of all time in Bollywood 'Dangal,' Nitesh Tiwari has
finally found his next project.
The director is working on a screen adaptation of Varun Agarwal's 2012
bestseller "How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-founded a Million Dollar
Company".
The film will be jointly produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy
Kapur, under their banners RSVP and Roy Kapur Films, respectively.
The book is a true story set in Bangalore about pursuing your dreams,
or as its author puts it, 'Take the leap and then think."
Nitesh, Ronnie and Siddharth's association goes back to Nitesh's first
film Chillar Party, which Ronnie and Siddharth produced under the UTV
Spotboy banner.
The association continued to flourish when UTV approached Nitesh with
the story of 'Dangal' and asked him to write and direct it for the big
screen. Nitesh wrote a riveting script, Siddharth called Aamir and
asked for a narration, Aamir loved what he heard and the rest is
history!
Now after 'Chillar Party' and 'Dangal,' they are coming together for a
youthful movie that is as topical as ever, dealing with the
entrepreneurial "start-up" culture that the youth of today is opting
for, rejecting the standard doctor, engineer, MBA templates favoured by
their parents' generation.
The film will feature one of the top stars from the younger set, and it
is understood that they are currently evaluating who would be best
suited to play the lead role.
Given their stellar track record, it will be exciting to see what
Nitesh, Siddharth and Ronnie have in store for audiences this time
round.
It is also rumoured that RSVP and Roy Kapur Films will be co-producing
"Saare Jahaan Se Achcha", a biopic on Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian
in space, that will star Aamir Khan!
