T Nillay Pande had started his career a decade ago as a line producer & executive producer for many film projects. And now he has also turned a co – producer with director Anwer Khan’s soon to be released film Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya.
Kindly give us a brief introduction of your film making career.
I had started my film making career that too a decade ago, 1st as a line producer then as an executive producer and finally as a co – producer. And as a line producer & executive producer I have been associated with projects like scores of music videos & TV commercials featuring the likes of actresses like Hema Malini, Madhuri Dixit and many others and even a film like Department. Then as a co – producer with director Anwer Khan’s debut film Four Two Ka One, not to be confused with Shah Rukh Khan’s film One Two Ka Four. That was 3 years ago. And now I am associated again as a co – producer with Anwer Khan’s 2nd film namely Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya.
What made you to co – produce another film with director Anwer Khan?
Actually speaking Anwer Khan is a dear friend of mine. I really enjoyed working with him as a co – producer in his debut directorial film Four Two Ka One. So once again when he came up with his latest project Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya I instantly gave him a go ahead signal as a co – producer once again.
So what is the film Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya all about?
Frankly speaking Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya is a complete family entertainer. And I am sure Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya will definitely prove to be an out & out commercially oriented masala film with Anwer Khan at the helm of affairs inspired by his Manmohan Desai style of film making. In fact I believe that Anwer Khan is the only actively involved independent director hailing from the Manmohan Desai camp. The film is all about identical twin brothers with one settled in Mumbai and the other one settled in Bangkok and then the switch over takes place and the fun oriented laughriot begins.
So what according to you are the highlights of the film Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya?
Of course there are many highlights of the film but I will give you the hint of a few of them. First & foremost highlight of the movie is Arbaaz Khan in the role of a Don in a foriegn land, the beautiful & soothing albeit never before seen locales of Thailand & Pataya in Bangkok, the 1st ever double role of Marathi comedian Vijay Patkar and above all the 1st ever double role of Jimmy Shergill and so on & so forth.
Ok so what are your expectations from the film?
First of all we wish that our film Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya should garner a decent collections at the Box Office turnstiles all over, so that we can start the production of our next project smoothly. Money wise the film should end up doing a decent business. The film’s digital promo launch has already created ripples of successful wave and I wish the film also does well. Besides I wish that each & every family member all over should go to see Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya.
As a parting shot give us a little information about the cast & crew of the film.
