Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is set to produce a satirical feature, starring seasoned actor Gajraj Rao in the lead.

A source close to the project told PTI that the movie, titled “Thai Massage”, will be directed by “Malaal” filmmaker Mangesh Hadawale.

“Gajraj Rao is playing the main protagonist and Divyendu is also on board. There will be a bunch of other actors,” the source added.

Rao has been lauded for his impeccable comic timing in films such as “Badhaai Ho”, “Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan” and “Lootcase”.

The film will go on floors in April.

Ali is known for directing films such as “Jab We Met”, “Love Aaj Kal”, “Rockstar” and “Highway”.

As a producer, he has backed web series “She” and movie “Laila Majnu”. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
