Sanjay Dutt will now be seen in a horror comedy movie, titled The Vir-gin Tree. He is also backing the project through his banner Three Dimension Motion Pictures Pvt Ltd along with Deepak Mukut’s Soham Rockstar Entertainment. Directed by debutant director Sidhaant Sachdev, The Vir-gin Tree will also cast Sunny Singh, Mouni Roy, Palak Tiwari, Aasif Khan and debutant Beyounic.
Sanjay Dutt, in a statement, said, “I am pleased to back the film which was exactly the script I was looking for. The film is the perfect blend of comedy and horror, with the right balance of chills and thrills. I am so glad to have found a production partner, in Deepak Mukut whose cinematic vision and ideals align with mine. I always wanted to encourage young fresh talent in the industry and with this film, we launch a new director with brilliant fresh vision. He has put together an eclectic cast and I wish them the best time and a glorious shoot ahead.”
“‘The Vir-gin Tree’ is a movie that I truly believe has all the elements of being an out and out entertainer. Its rib tickling humour coupled with chills is such a perfect script. My association with Dutt makes this an even more special experience. I can’t wait for everyone to watch the film we have envisioned. It’s a cracker of a story that ensures the audience has a great time at the movies,” the producer said.
Sachdev said working with Dutt on his maiden directorial is a “dream opportunity” for him. “I am so grateful to Sanjay Sir for putting his faith in me and to Deepak Mukut Sir for backing my vision. The shoot of your first film is something everyone remembers with great fondness. I have a wonderful cast and I am gonna be eternally grateful for the warmth, love and opportunity that’s come my way,” he added.
The Vir-gin Tree will be co-produced by Hunar Mukut.
