19th August 2023, Mumbai: Kanika Dhillon’s Kathha Pictures has forged a dynamic partnership with revered director Shashanka Chaturvedi, commonly referred to as BOB. The collaboration will kick off with BOB taking the director’s chair for Kathha Pictures’ debut film ‘Do Patti’, as part of an intriguing three-film agreement.
BOB, with a career spanning two decades, has left an indelible mark on the Indian cinema landscape. His roots trace back to co-founding Good Morning Films and skyrocketing to global fame by bagging the first-ever Gold Lions for India at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009. With a trove of awards to his name, like the Grand Prix in Spikes Asia, D&AD, One Show, Kyoorius, and Campaign India Awards, BOB’s repertoire also boasts of collaborations with major brands, directing over 100 Indian commercials.
Kanika Dhillon remarked, “Embarking on ‘Do Patti’ resonates deeply as it chronicles my transition from penning stories to producing them. This evolution is exhilarating and daunting, and partnering with a director of BOB’s caliber sets the right tone for Kathha Pictures’ voyage. The combination of acclaimed actors, Kajol and Kriti Sanon, with an accomplished director like BOB, promises cinematic magic.”
BOB shared his enthusiasm, stating, “I’ve always been captivated by Kanika’s unique narratives, so teaming up with her and Kathha Pictures feels right. Her refreshing perspective on female portrayals combined with groundbreaking storytelling resonates with me. It’s a thrilling challenge, and I’m eager to kickstart this partnership with Kathha Pictures, working alongside top-tier talent like the iconic Kajol and the brilliant Kriti Sanon on Netflix.”
The forthcoming suspense-thriller, backed by producers Kanika Dhillon and Kriti Sanon, stars the dynamic duo of Kajol and Kriti Sanon, and will premiere on the streaming behemoth, Netflix.
