Look who's getting into comic zone these days!!

Yes it's none other than Bollywood's prolific filmmaker Shyam Benegal who is rightly called as the 'Pioneer of Parallel Cinema'.

Nobody would ever forget about his ground-breaking contribution towards Hindi Cinema. The man who created altogether a different genre by giving some of the remarkable films like NISHANT, ANKUR, SURAJ KA SAATVA GHODA, MANDI, ZUBEIDA, etc...has step his foot into comedy first time ever with WELCOME TO SAJJANPUR, his upcoming release.

Since comedy has become the new flavour of Bollywood, seems like this veteran is setting himself in the flow of the stream.

WELCOME TO SAJJANPUR is an unusual mix of a satire & a romantic comedy set in rural India, starring Shreyas Talpade & Amrita Rao in the leads. The promos of the same are looking great with an amazing introduction video.
