On the birthday of Sanjay Dutt, producers Sandeep Singh and Omung Kumar announced their next project that will star Sanjay Dutt in the lead role. Under the banner of Sandeep Singh and Omung Kumar’s production house, the film will be a Hindi remake of the super hit Marathi film ‘De Dhakka' that will be directed by the actor-director Mahesh Manjrekar. As per it's Marathi version, the film promises to be a laughter riot blending with the emotional journey of a family.

The actor-director duo who have previously worked together in the super hit film ‘Vaastav’ where they created magic on the silver screen are known to be looking forward to work together after a long gap. The film is set to roll by the beginning of 2017 while the rest of the cast is yet to be finalized.

Speaking on this association director Mahesh Manjrekar added, “I met Sanju after a long while and I realized he has matured a lot. He looked fresh and fit. Initially I was contemplating working with him as I wanted to work on something different, a kind of film which both haven’t done before, something that would surprise the audience. Then De Dhakka came and I felt it was the perfect subject. Sanjay will have the family audience and youth rooting".

Confirming the news producers Sandeep Singh and Omung Kumar said, “We are really proud to come into an association with Maheshji as producers and are very confident that De Dhakka's remake in Hindi will impress the audiences and critics equally as it did in Marathi”.
