He created a new record with his directorial
Dangal and now all eyes are set on Nitesh
Tiwari's upcoming projects. Amidst many
speculations, recent reports claim that the
director is eyeing on adapting a novel on
the big screen. Aiming it to be a film for the
youth, the said film is apparently based on
Varun Agarwal's 2012 bestseller How I
Braved Anu Aunty & Co-Founded A Million
Dollar Company.
While the details of the star cast are being
kept under wraps, the makers are planning
to cast a popular actor from the Gen Y lot
and the younger generation of superstars.
The story of the book revolves around
breaking the Indian stereotypes attached to
professions like MBA, Doctors and
Engineers, showcasing a clash with the
young concept of start-ups'. The said film is
said to be produced under the banner RSVP
films by Ronnie Screwvala as well as Roy
Kapur Films by Siddharth Roy Kapur.
Taking cue from his own life, Varun
Agarwal is a young entrepreneur who has
presented the character of Anu Aunty' as
an interfering neighbourhood aunty who
constantly pokes her nose into other
people's business, bringing forth the
concept of Chaar log kya kahenge'.
Breaking away from the same, Varun
decided to take charge of his life despite
the conventional mindset all around him
and co-founded the Alma Mater with school
friend Rohan Malhotra, that creates outfits
and accessories for educational alumni in
India. The company and the book both
turned out to be super successful.
While Nitesh maintains silence on the same,
reports claim that the spokesperson of Roy
Kapur Films have confirmed the
collaboration with Nitesh Tiwari on the
same.

Why don't these people remake some good older novels? Do we not have talented enough directors? Or story writers? I would really like a classic to be picturised in modern times. Or an anthology of some sort. Premchand's stories in Delhi 2017 or something 😆

@Astha I wud love to see Premchand's Kafan as movie. That is a tragic comedy and very relevant even today.

Detail of star cast kept under wraps?
Which means the same 5 or 6 actors and actresses you see in virtually every bollywood film that will be in this one.

This movie will be Nitesh's litmus test. At least for me.
