20th May 2023, Mumbai: Recently, filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya was in the news for both his critically acclaimed 2022 film Uunchai and when speculations surfaced that he is preparing for his upcoming Salman Khan-starring film. According to sources, this family movie is scheduled to release in theatres on Diwali 2024. However, the blockbuster director is not only preoccupied with his directing endeavour. He is also concentrating on his son Avnish S. Barjatya’s feature film debut.
According to a source, Filmy Charcha “Avnish Barjatya has shot for his directorial project; however, the title hasn’t been revealed yet. The movie is titled Dono. The film’s creators believe this is a fitting title that complements the plot.”
Along with Avinsh, Sunny Deol’s younger son Rajveer, producer Ashok Thakeria, and actress Poonam Dhillon’s daughter Paloma Thakeria Dhillon all make their acting debuts in Dono. The movie, according to rumours that surfaced last year, is a coming-of-age love story that examines contemporary relationships against the backdrop of an opulent destination wedding. Karan Deol, Rajveer’s older brother and Sunny Deol’s older son, posted a photo of himself, Sunny, and Rajveer on the Dono set in Thailand in March of this year.
Rajshri Productions declared in March 2021 that they will introduce Rajveer Deol in Avnish Barjatya’s movie. On May 20, 2022, exactly one year prior, Rajshri declared Paloma Thakeria Dhillon to be a part of this movie.
Avnish Barjatya said in a statement at the time that Paloma “is a great actress and has tremendous screen presence. She is a fantastic match for my persona. It is incredibly thrilling to work with her every day because of her incredible work ethic and excitement. On-screen, Paloma and Rajveer have a fantastic relationship and complement one another very well. Both of them have adapted to their responsibilities with ease.”
This year, Dono is anticipated to be released in theatres.
