Mohit Suri Turns Producer

It’s official! Ace director Mohit Suri is branching out of the prized Vishesh Films clan in a major way by turning producer. The father-to-be is in the process of finalising a name for his banner, whose first production will be the screen adaptation of Chetan Bhagats yet-to-be-released novel, Half Girlfriend. So far, it was known that Mohit was on board to direct the film but now his collaboration with the popular fiction writer has gone a step further.

 

Mohit is currently among the highest-paid directors in the industry, following two consecutive Rs 100 crore hits (Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villan). Now, this seems like an obvious step forward for the filmmaker.  

 

“Mohit not only agreed to direct the film but also co-produce it with me although he has only read the manuscript. We will soon have a studio on board and eventually finalise the actors. Its extremely exciting because my book isnt out yet but it has impressed someone like Mohit and coaxed him to turn producer,” gushes Chetan who is also busy scouting a perfect name for his production company, adding, His wife Udita and my wife Anusha are chasing us to finalise names for our companies ASAP.

 

This does not mean that Mohit has dropped his plans to direct Hamari Adhuri Kahani for uncles Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt whove partnered with Fox Star for the project. The film is a mature love story with Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi about a woman who finds love after she marries.

 

Mohit is a top director and has committed time to other movies. But once hes through, this film will roll, asserts Chetan, adding, But we may get someone to work on the screenplay which we will supervise because Im too close to the content.
