Ameesha Patel signs Priyadarshan as second director

Reviving family entertainment films and bringing back 'fun' days is what Ameesha Patel's production house strives to extend to the audience. And after announcing David Dhawan as the first director, Priyadarshan has been chosen as the second director on board for another project.

Naturally, Ameesha and her business partner Kuunal Goomer are ecstatic about making two films, both of which will go on floors by the year end, directed by two of the most talented directors in India.

"I will play the lead in both these films. With a family-based storyline, good music and directors like David and Priyan working on them, the films are bound to connect with the 6-80 years age group," promises Ameesha.

Incidentally, Patel and Priyan had decided to work together after BhoolBhulaiya which went on to become a hit. Ameesha was approached for Billoo but the role finally went to Lara Dutta, as Priyan felt Ameesha looked too young to play a mother of two kids opposite Irrfan Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Now, the team is back together and Priyan has planned a big ensemble cast for the new film.

There's a strong buzz about Patel's actor-producer work profile as a big fat amount now rides on her petite shoulders. Apart from David and Priyan's films, there's also Chatur Singh Two Star opposite Sanjay Dutt and another big budget film opposite a big star. "I am going to be in front of the camera and will also help with production work. Kuunal will look after the business aspect of these projects. I feel privileged to work with David and Priyan and really couldn't have asked for more."                                                                                  -  The Times of India
