The makers of Jimmy Sheirgill and Mahie Gill starrer Family of Thakurganj recently released the trailer of the film. It has received immense praise from the audience, who are now geared up for the release of the film. Besides Jimmy and Mahie, in the film, actor Nandish Sandhu is playing the role of Nannu's younger brother, Mannu. Nannu is an illiterate goon and indulges in illegal activities such as extortion, smuggling, while Mannu is obedient, educated and with high moral values.
Talking about his thought process behind coming on board, producer Ajay Kumar Singh says, "I stay in a joint family and believe that the script narrated by Dilip Shukla is exactly how many Indian families are. Very often in small towns, you will find two brothers who stay amicably together in the same house even though they have opposite world views", he says.
Talking about his future plans, he adds, "As 2019 still has 6 months to go, between 2019-20 Lovely Entertainment will have 3 films back to back as we are currently working on 3 scripts. We plan to approach actors like Siddharth Malhotra, Ayushmaan Khurana and Rajkummar Rao for these in Jan 2020".
