Close to the announcement of its first feature film, Letters To Mr Khanna, starring Neetu Kapoor, Sunny Kaushal and Shradha Srinath, Lionsgate India Studios ventures into comedy with its second film, Nausikhiye. Directed by Santosh Singh, the movie brings together new-age actors Abhimanyu Dassani, Amol Parashar and Shreya Dhanwanthary. Building on its content slate, the studio aims to bring diverse content to its wide audience in India.

Ellipsis Entertainment will produce the film written by Chirag Garg and Avinash Dwivedi. The comic caper chronicles the story of two wedding crashers who accidentally steal a bride, triggering a zany cat-and-mouse chase across the countryside.

Rohit Jain, MD, Emerging Markets Asia, Lionsgate, said, “We are constantly investing in curated content for our dynamic audience in India. Staying true to this, we’re back with another exciting feature film in the comedygenre that is urban, relatable, and fun. We believe this genre is the need of the hour, post pandemic. We aim to explore new and exciting genres to diversify our slate of content to provide our audience with a holistic entertainment experience. We’re sure that this film, helmed by Santosh Singh and a stellar cast, is going to be a full-house entertainer and will be one of the many successful stories produced by the Lionsgate India Studios.”
