While the year 2009 has been a mixed bag for Bollywood, a glance at the
growth charts of the music giant T-Series indicates that this company
is going great guns. After having tasted musical success with films,
T-Series has now taken it's yet another gigantic step by becoming the
Presenter and also the joint producer of the Akshay Kumar starrer Patiala House, a film that's being directed by Nikhil Advani.
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama,
the ever-so-polite Bhushan Kumar confirmed the news saying, "Yes
indeed. We are presenting the film and also jointly producing it with
Mukesh Talreja. The last time we got associated with an Akshay Kumar
film was for Bhool Bhulaiyaa, which was a wonderful experience.
Since then, we have churned out some brilliant music. We have got very
good relationship with Akshay."
Talking about Patiala House, Bhushan continued, "Lately, we heard the script of Patiala House;
we found it to be really good, emotional film with an earthy feel to
it. We just signed the film yesterday. It stars Akshay Kumar, Anushka
Sharma, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia and others. The film is starting
on December 21st and we are targeting a next Diwali release. It's got
some lovely music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. We are very happy to be
associated with the film."
One just hopes that Patiala House surely sets the musical and financial bells to ring for T-Series.
