BIG Pictures, the motion pictures brand of Reliance Big Entertainment and Puja Films today unveiled the first look of their forthcoming film DO KNOT DISTURB at IIFA, 2009 at Macao.



The multi star cast film is a laugh riot from David Dhawan. It stars finest comic talent from Bollywood - Govinda, Riteish Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Sushmita Sen, Sohail Khan, Ranvir Sheorey and Rajpal Yadav, which, put together with David Dhawan, is undoubtedly the best combination for a comedy film and this is evident from the Film’s Teaser Promo and Key Art Posters.

Most importantly it also marks the coming together of the Super Hit Comedy Jodi No. 1 of David Dhawan and Govinda after a gap of two years. Their last film together was the blockbuster PARTNER. At the unveiling in Macao, principal Cast of the film including Govinda, Riteish Deshmukh, Lara Dutta and Sushmita Sen were present along with the Director - David Dhawan, the Producer - Vashu Bhagnani and Member of the Board of Reliance BIG Entertainment, Prasoon Joshi.

Director David Dhawan stated, “My motive of making films is to make people laugh and make them forget their worries, even if temporarily. DO KNOT DISTURB has been made with the same objective and I hope to bring smiles to the audiences worldwide with this film.”

Producer Vashu Bhagnani added, “I am extremely happy to continue my association with BIG Pictures. DO KNOT DISTURB marks my reunion with both David Dhawan and Govinda. Together, we have given many successful films in the past and we firmly believe that DO KNOT DISTURB will also keep both, stakeholders as well as consumers, laughing all the way.”

David Dhawan is a very happy man. And it’s not only because he’s making back-to-back movies, AND judging a reality show Hans Baliye during the time of recession.

Cast members of David’s latest directorial offering Do Knot Disturb are going to IIFA. “Now that the strike (of new releases in multiplexes) is over Govinda and Riteish Deshmukh who are in the film will be performing live at IIFA.”

David also intends to do a music video featuring the entire cast of Do Knot Disturb. “I want Sushmita, Lara, Sohail, Riteish and Govinda. We want to promote Do Knot Disturb in a big way and release around Eid.”

This being David’s first film with producer Vashu Bhagnani in years, David is naturally very concerned. “It has to go right. I’m very happy with the film. The strike ended at just the right time. There was hardly any shooting going on. Media persons had nothing to write so they were making up stories.”

Often termed as the first superstar of Hindi cinema, actor turned politician Rajesh Khanna will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Videocon IIFA Weekend, which will be held at The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel from June 11 to 13, 2009 in Macau. Earlier Indian cinema’s living legends such as Mumtaz and Dharmendra have been the recipients of this prestigious Award.

Each year, IIFA 2009 honours a member of the Indian Film Fraternity with the Lifetime Achievement Award who has made innumerable contributions to Indian cinema, our sources reveal, keeping this in mind, the IIFA Advisory Board and the IIFA Management have zeroed down on Rajesh Khanna’s name for the tenth IIFA to be held at Macao.

Rajesh Khanna’s rise to stardom is considered phenomenal. One can recollect, from 1969 to 1972, the Rajesh Khanna phenomenon swept Indian cinema off its feet and the hysteria he generated was unlike anything seen before! Rajesh Khanna made his Bollywood debut with the 1966 film Aakhri Khat, followed by Raaz and Baharon Ke Sapne. But his act in films like Aurat, Khamoshi and Aradhana cemented his status as the new super talent par excellence in the Indian film industry. In 1983, Rajesh Khanna displayed a spectacular performance with his role in Avtaar. After establishing his mega star status, blockbuster films followed one after another, and women all over the country swooned over him and the men aped him.

Kaka as he is popularly known as, is still adored and fondly remembered by the masses and songs from his popular films are still loved. The previous recipients of this award were Lata Mangeshkar (2000), Waheeda Rehman (2001), Yash Chopra (2002), Dev Anand (2003), Yash Johar (2004), V.K. Murthy (2005), Asha Parekh (2006), Dharmendra (2007) and Mumtaz (2008).
