Director Aanand L. Rai is set to present Swara Bhaskar’s next film, Nil Bate Sannata, directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari, the wife of director Nitesh Tiwari.
Asked about her new projects, Bhaskar said: “I’m wrapping up the last schedule of Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, which stars Salman Khan and will be out on Diwali this year.
“After that, my next release is a very beautiful film called Nil Bate Sannata, which is directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari and Aanand L. Rai is presenting it, so I’m very excited,” added the actress, who has worked with Rai in films Tanu Weds Manu Returns and Raanjhanaa.
Bhaskar also said she was impressed with renowned filmmakers backing small-budget films.
“So, if you look at the way Karan Johar helped in the release of The Lunchbox or Aamir Khan supporting Peepli Live and Kiran Rao helping Ship Of Theseus... It’s really nice to see that the industry works as a team when it comes to supporting a good film. So, I feel it’s a good time for all kinds of films,” said the actress.
“It’s definitely more difficult for an indie filmmaker to release the film. But things are changing and the nice thing about the whole setup is that more established producers and directors are lending their support,” she added.
