Priyadarshan's situational comedy, 'Hangaama'

            Mumbai, June 8: Even as the horror genre casting a spell on box office, ace director Priyadarshan is all set to tickle the audience's funny bone with his laugh riot 'Hungaama'. Originally from southern film industry, Priyadarshan shot to fame in Bollywood with his feudal drama 'Virasat' in 1997. After a series of flops, his comedy flick 'Hera Pheri' went on to become a major hit.

          A situational comedy, the movie is about three men vying for a single woman and trying tricks to win her love that ultimately leads to funny situations in the movie. One of the lead actors of the film Aftab Shivdasani said that he was very happy with the way the film shaped up. "The movie has been well made. It is a good comedy and comedy is something that I am always comfortably doing..I am very happy doing the film," said Aftab on the music release of the film. Aftab's last movie 'Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche' failed at the box office.

          Though the film boasts of veteran actor Paresh Rawal and Akshaye Khanna, the surprise element of the film is debutante Rimi Sen. Before getting ready to roll on the big screen, Sen was the most oft-seen face in television commercials. She shot to fame with a soft drink commercial with actor Aamir Khan. "Well it was a very rich experience. I got a chance to work with Priyadarshan as a newcomer. I consider myself very lucky because I have got such a wonderful opportunity to work with Ratan (film producer) and Priyadarshan. This is my debut film and as a newcomer I feel lucky to grab this chance," said Sen. Sen has also been cast opposite Salman Khan in Ravi Chopra's 'Baaghban'.

           Priyadarshan is known in film circles as a director who can cut the budget of a movie by half just on the strength of his pace of work and his present movie too has been wrapped up at an electrifying speed. Although his last film 'Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar' failed to rake in the moolah at the box office, industry sources say that this one may well hold on the audience to their seats. 'Hungaama' is slated for release in June.
