Imtiaz Ali doesn’t believe in wasting time. His much-awaited film Rockstar released this Friday and the filmmaker has already hatched a deal for another film. Imtiaz has come on board as the creative producer for the official Hindi remake of the 2009 South Korean romantic action comedy film My Girlfriend is an Agent.
The film, which is a UTV Motion Pictures production, will also mark Imtiaz’s wife Preety Ali’s foray into film production with the recently set up production house PI Films. Besides that, choreographer Bosco of the Bosco-Caesar duo will debut as a director with this film.
“It is very exciting. It seems like full on fun — both the film and the filmmaking process. Most exciting for me is that Bosco is directing it. I don’t think many people know how to put fun on screen like Bosco. And I’m there to add to the chaos and trouble for PI Films and UTV at every step of the making,” says Imtiaz.
The film revolves around the story of two spies, once in love but now at each other’s throats, on a mission to stop a Russian crime group from stealing an advanced chemical weapon. Commenting on the development, Siddharth Roy Kapur, CEO of UTV Motion Pictures says, “It’s great to be collaborating with Imtiaz, Preety and Bosco on this really exciting project. The day we saw the original film, we knew it was something we just had to remake in Hindi. The lead characters are so endearing and the situations they find themselves in so hilarious.”
