‘Atithi Tum…’ will remind of Hrishida’s films: Ajay Devgn

Konkona Sen plays Devgn’s wife with Paresh Rawal being the uninvited guest.

“It is a Hrishikesh Mukherjee kind of a film. Remember his films when we used to get emotional and also smile as the scenes unfolded. That’s the bracket that ‘Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?’ finds itself in. It has the kind of humour which is clean and quite rib tickling,” Devgn said.

The 40-year-old actor said that the USP of the film is it’s script and despite being low on budget,it is high on innovative presentation.

“The film is not very big budgeted and neither is it a multi starrer. However,what is of utmost importance here is that it has a solid script which makes it worth it. A good balance is maintained between what is presented on screen and how it looks. That has pretty much been taken care by (director) Ashwani Dhir,” Devgn said.

Devgn is elated with the good response to the movie in a recent target screening done at Mumbai,where it saw a 76 per cent positive response.

“We were always confident about the film but such acceptance made us further assured that audiences are still rooting for clean comedies. We showed the film recently to a set of people belonging to both class and mass audience. It was amazing to see 76 per cent votes in movie’s favour,” the actor said.

Devgn,however does not want to slot ‘Atithi Tum Kab Jaaoge’ as a core multiplex film and instead insists that the subject and treatment is the kind that would reach out to all kind of audiences.

“The film targets masses as well,if that forms the criteria of the differentiation between the single screen and multiple audience,” said Devgn.

Produced by Amita Pathak,daughter of Ajay Devgn’s close associate and friend Kumar Mangat,the film releases on March 5.
