Comedy film Doolha Gang aims to bring back family entertainers to Bollywood

Comedy film Doolha Gang, helmed by Ashutosh Upadhyay, aims to bring back family entertainers in the comedy genre.

A new comedy film Doolha Gang is set to tell a rooted tale of romance, laughter, and loads of chaos in a typical chacha-bhatija tale with a twist. The film, set in Indore, is written and directed by Ashutosh Upadhyay and produced by Anuj Kumar Ojha. The film was announced on Thursday along with its first poster. The filming is set to begin soon.

Saying that he is excited about the project, director Ashutosh Upadhyay says, "I think there hasn't been a family comedy film for a long time. Doolha Gang will appeal not only to the young audience but to the entire family. I can’t reveal much about the cast now but we have got many established actors lined up for this entertaining film.”

Producer Anuj Kumar Ojha says, “From the title of the film, you can guess that it is a fun entertainer. When writer-director Ashutosh Upadhyay shared the plot of the film with me, I agreed to do the film in the first narration itself.” Doolha Gang is set to begin filming in several locations across Madhya Pradesh soon.
