Krishna Bhatt To Tickle Your Funny Bone In And As Mirzapur Ke Jija

Ad-man Rajneesh DK Jain too joins the film wagon

Mumbai: Amazon Prime Video had successfully streamed two seasons of web series on “Mirzapur” on its OTT platform and is now in the process of streamlining its season three too.

Buzz is that one more movie on “Mirzapur” is ready to ignite some similar incidents of a wedding. Aptly titled as “Mirzapur Ke Jija,” it is a comedy caper and features actor Krishna Bhatt in the title role.

Krishna Bhatt was last seen in Akshay Kumar starrer “Mission Mangal”. He was also lately seen in ad-commercials of ‘Bikaji’ (sweets and namkeen) with Amitabh Bachchan. He was also a part of Kapil Sharma’s comedy shows too.

Krishna Bhatt says, “My last film released was “Mission Mangal” in 2019, before the lockdown. It was a friendly appearance played on the proposition of my dear director friend Jagan Shakti. In fact there are back-to-back four films in the pipeline of release. In “Mirzapur Ke Jija”, I play the titular role and is in search of a prospective bride but have to face unpopular incidences. It is gearing up for an early release. Then there is “Love You Pappu” which again is a comedy. Then there are two more films “Band of Maharaja” and “Antaryatri Mahapurush” (based on a popular and recognized Jain Monk’s biopic Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Maharaj) where I have interesting roles. In my 23-odd-years of acting career, I have acted in around 40-films. I have been choosey about the scripts that come to me.  There should be no vulgarity and the entire family should be able to watch the film together.”

“Mirzapur Ke Jija” is produced Rajneesh DK Jain who too joins the elite club of ad folks who went on to pursue their passion for filmmaking and create history. The film is being made under the banner of Rishabh Jain Films in association with Shree Jalaram Group and Ganatra Brothers and has been written and directed by veteran Mukesh Bitthariya.

Krishna Bhatt is ably supported by an ensemble cast of actors which include  Sahebdas Manikpuri, Rajesh Dubey, Manish Mishraa, Mahesh Kanwar, Umesh Bajpai, Avni Sharma, Seema Bhatt, Pratibha Singh, Abhilasha, Nisha Gupta, Banvari Jhol, Manish Shukla, Arvind Kumar, Hanuman, Ashish Chandel and Hatindra Tandon.  Master Rishabh Jain and Master Krishna Bitthariya are the young debutant actors in the film.

Jay Kumar Sharma is the director of photography. Abhishek Mishra is the editor. Ghazal singer and composer Dev Rathour who is inspired by the legendary playback singer Mohammed Rafi has provided the musical score and has also lent his voice. Lyrics are penned by Sudhakar Sharma.
