MUMBAI: Mukta Arts head honcho Subhash Ghai has teamed up with prolific filmmaker Priyadarshan to direct a new project for his banner. The two are currently finalising the star cast of the film.

Commented Ghai, "Priyadarshan is one of the most versatile directors today with two National Awards‘ for Saaza-E-Kaala Paani and Kanjivaram. He has also made a range of commercial hits from Virasat to Hera Pheri and many more. To me, he is a man of commitment and looking at his command on commercial cinema I am very glad to produce a film under his direction."

The film in question will be officially launched on 24 October when Mukta Arts celebrates its 32nd anniversary.
