Ekta Kapoor teams up with Guneet Monga to produce 'Pagglait'

Mumbai: Producers Ekta Kapoor and Guneet Monga have come together to back Sanya Malhotra starrer “Pagglait”.

The movie will be produced by Balaji Telefilms and Monga’s Sikhya Entertainment, the production house behind the Oscar short-film “Period. End of Sentence”.

“Guneet is one of the most relevant voices in Indian cinema today. When I heard the very concept of the film, I knew we had to do this together,” Kapoor said in a statement on Thursday.

Monga said the team is glad to bring a concept as quirky as “Pagglait” on screen with Malhotra and Balaji Telefilms.

“Our film is a story of a young girl as she discovers her purpose and identity amidst looming questions about love and belonging in the neo-modern small-town India,” she said.

Directed by Umesh Bist, the first schedule of the film is underway in Lucknow.
