After months of speculations, it has been confirmed that Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan is set to bankroll a new film. Titled Jawani Janeman, the movie will be made under the banners of Khan’s Black Knight Films and Jay Shewakramani's Northern Lights Films.
Filmmaker Nitin Kakkar, who has to his credit such critically acclaimed films as Filmistaan (2013) and Mitron (2018), will call the shots for the venture which is set to start rolling in the first half of the next year.
“I have worked with Saif as a creative producer on Race (2008) and Race 2 (2013) and we have been good friends since a long time. When I ventured out to produce a film on my own, Saif wanted to get back into it at the same time and this (Jawani Janeman) seemed like the perfect project for both of us,” Jay said.
The producer goes on to add that Jawani Janeman revolves around a father and his daughter. “It is a coming-of-age story of a 40-year-old man and revolves around his relationship with his daughter.”
Saif Ali Khan and Jay Shewakramani have signed a three-film deal. Jawani Janeman will be the first film of the deal. “Saif and I are big fans of Filmistaan. When I took the film to Nitin, he loved it and immediately came onboard. Saif hasn’t delved into this space for a while now, so he decided to produce the film alongside acting in it,” revealed the producer.
