Yash Raj Films (YRF)’ next venture Mere Dad Ki Maruti (MDKM) under the Y-Films banner, has finally got a release date. It will release universally on 15 March (2013). For some time now, it has been seen that YRF is becoming the perfect platform for budding talent. After having successfully launched Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma in Band Baaja Baaraat, it followed up by casting Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra in Ishaqzaade. Through Mere Dad Ki Maruti, the production house is all set to provide a platform for Saqib Saleem and Rhea Chakraborty. Incidentally, Saqib had earlier made his debut with Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge under the same banner. MDKM is an outrageous comedy set against the backdrop of a loud Punjabi wedding in Chandigarh. The film tells the story of a boy who sneaks his dad’s fancy new car out to impress the college hottie and how all hell breaks loose when he loses it. MDKM also stars Ram Kapoor as the khadoos dad in his first full-fledged comedy role. MDKM also marks the directorial debut of Ashima Chibber who has been associated with some of the most talented directors of our times. She was Shimit Amin’s first Assistant Director (AD) on Ab Tak Chappan and Chak De India among others. The director’s last project was as first assistant director to Imtiaz Ali in Rockstar.
