Filmmaker Karan Johar has joined forces with Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment for the first time for Baar Baar Dekho.
Directed by debutant Nitya Mehra, Baar Baar Dekho is a romantic film starring Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles.
Sidhwani and Akhtar with their banner Excel Entertainment and Johar with Dharma Productions have come together for their very first collaboration.
“Excel and Dharma coming together is more than just a collaboration of aesthetic and creative forces... For me it’s a solid partnership of friendship. I am thrilled to associate with Ritesh and Farhan as they are not only prolific fraternity members but also close friends of mine,” Johar said in a statement.
To this, Sidhwani added: “It’s a first for Excel as we haven’t done co-productions earlier and this is even more special as it’s Dharma. Karan has been a close friend for over 15 years now and I value this relationship immensely.”
Baar Baar Dekho is slated for release in India on September 9.
