Sony Pictures Networks Productions (formerly MSM Motion Pictures), a division of Sony Pictures Networks India Pvt. Ltd. (SPN), announce its next film titled ‘Mubarakan’. In a casting coup of sorts, Sony Pictures Networks Productions has roped in the real life ‘chacha-bhatija’ - Anil Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor to come together in a film for the first time! What’s more, the duo also play ‘chacha-bhatija’ in the reel life. The film also stars Ileana D’Cruz, Athiya Shetty, Amrita Singh amongst others.

The family comedy will be directed by none other than ace director Anees Bazmee. Anees’s last film ‘Welcome Back’ was a major hit and also starred Anil Kapoor. Prior to that, Anees had directed the Salman Khan blockbuster “Ready”. With ‘Mubarakan’ this ‘Triple A’ Jodi of Anees, Anil and Arjun is all set to have the audiences entertained with comedy that will have them rolling in laughter. Anees will make sure that the ‘chacha-bhatija jodi’ replicate the same camaraderie that they share in real life on screen too.

Mubarakan is a laugh riot with confusions galore, laughter, love, egos and emotions.

Mubarakan is produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions and Ashwin Varde & Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios and is all set to go on the floors by November 2016.

The film has been written by Balli Januja and Rupinder Chahal.

‘Mubarakan’ is slated for a 28th July 2017 release.

Sneha Rajani, Dy President & Head, Sony Pictures Networks Productions said, “We are very excited to embark on our journey for Mubarakan. From drama to horror to slice of life cinema and now comedy, we aim to present content that engages, evokes and entertains our audiences. I am certain that Mubarakan will be one of the most anticipated movies of 2017 and we look forward to receiving the same overwhelming support like we have in our previous movies.”

Anees Bazmee, Director on the other hand mentioned, “Mubarakan is one of the best scripts I’ve come across in recent times. That’s what attracted me to it primarily. The highlight of the film will be Anil Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor coming together for the first time on screen. The madness of the script along with the fantastic ensemble cast, we are all set to create something that will be unparalleled.”
