and will be great for the entire family
to watch together. The film also has ace director Anurag Kashyap as a cop andthe talented Ila Arun as Ghoomketu’s Aunt, in lead roles along with Raghubir Yadav, Swanand Kirkire, Ragini
Khannaand others. The film will also see special cameos fromAmitabh Bachchan, Ranveer Singh, Sonakshi Sinha,Chitrangada
Singh, Lauren Gottlieband filmmaker Nikhil
Advani.
Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui shares, “Ghoomketu is a quirky, never-seen-before
character and I thoroughly enjoyed playing him. Anurag, who is generally behind
the camera, will be seen sharing screen space with us and it was a great
experience to work with him as an actor. ‘Ghoomketu’ has a phenomenal storyline
which will definitely entertain the audience. During this time of the lockdown,
I am glad that a humorous film that the entire family can watch is being
streamed on ZEE5.”
Actor Anurag Kashyap shares, “Every film is a labour of love and I saw
the conviction in the director of Ghoomketu and hence decided to do something
which is my least favourite thing to do, which is act. The film is funny and
heartwarming.”
Film Director Pushpendra Nath
Misra adds, “Wherever we go, we are
never far away from our roots. Ghoomketu, as the name suggests, is a story of
the ‘journey to the beginning’. This a film where the protagonist - a writer-
draws inspiration from the idiosyncrasies of his own family members. This was a
dream project with a stellar cast (sublime actors, all of them), and the
freedom to tell the story in a non-stereotypical way. For all the writers,
their observation begins at home. This film is a celebration of our family
members - our ‘Bua’s and ‘Chacha’s and ‘Dadda’s - who we (Ghoomketu) always
carry in our hearts, wherever we go. I am glad it will reach the huge family
audiences of ZEE5.”
Aparna Acharekar, Programming Head, ZEE5 India expresses, “Ghoomketu’ is a film made for every member of
the family and for them to relate to someone or maybe just sit back and have a
good laugh. From a star-studded cast to its quirky characters, the film is a
perfect treat for the audience. At ZEE5, we are proud to present Ghoomketu on
Eid, our third Original film after Bamfaad and Ateet, to entertain viewers
during the lockdown."
Vivek Agrawal,
Producer, Phantom Films says, “Ghoomketu” is one of those rare gems that
will put a smile on your face while taking you through the struggle of a man
who is out there trying his luck in Bollywood films. Bringing this story to
life has been a roller-coaster ride, just like the protagonist’s journey in the
film! It has been a pleasure working on ‘Ghoomketu’– a project that is
relatable for many people, on so many levels and we are thrilled to have ZEE5
on board to release it.”
This quirky comedy is all set to
confuse, entertain and make you laugh this Eid weekend.
