Industrialist Pappu Pittie and producer Deepak Sawant, in order to celebrate film GANGOTRI's release, hosted a party at Club Millennium, Juhu on Nov 17. The event was graced by producer Deepak Sawant, director Abhishek, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, Sudesh Bhosle with wife Hema, Manoj Tiwari, Yogesh Lakhani, Bhumika with husband Bharat Thakur, and others graced the event.Producer Deepak Sawant gave THE GANGA, the biggest hit of the Bhojpuri cinema last year. This time out, GANGOTRI will be in both Bhojpuri and the Hindi versions. Says Sawant, "GANGOTRI starts where GANGA ends. The entire starcast is the same; it stars Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Manoj Tiwari, Bhumika Chawla, Aroona Irani and Kunal Singh."
Adds Pappu Pittie, "An interesting fact about GANGOTRI is that it will have glimpses of GANGA before the start of the movie. For the first time in a film, you will see recaps. We will show a five minutes recap of GANGA before GANGOTRI starts so that those who haven't seen GANGA will get a glimpse of the movie."
Pittie who was very much a part of GANGA as well, is elated that GANGOTRI has shaped as expected. "Mr. Bachchan is at his best. He has emotions, songs and even great action sequences! I expect the film to do well just like our first film."
Adds director Abhishek, "Mr Bachchan, is a director's actor. And echoing Mr Bachchan, the success of GANGA egged us on to make GANGOTRI. We are sure that GANGOTRI is the part of a never-ending flow for films for Bachchan fans!"
Interestingly, GANGOTRI will probably go down in history as the first film whose music releases after the film release! And an emotional Bachchan family complete with bahu launched the same.
