Real to Reel: Anil Kapoor to play Arjun's uncle in Anees Bazmee's next

Anil Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor are set to share screen space for the first time in filmmaker Anees Bazmee's next, where they will portray their real life relationship of uncle and nephew.

The film titled ‘Mubaraka’, was to be directed by Milap Zaveri but things did not work out and ‘The Shaukeens’ producer Murad Khetani roped in Bazmee to direct the movie.

The makers feel it would be a treat to the audience to present the duo in this way on the screen. "In the film, Anil and Arjun will be playing chacha-bhatija. Both share a great camaraderie off screen and we are hopeful that the audience will like their on screen jodi as well," a source said.

Presently, the makers are busy finalising other cast members. The ‘Welcome Back’ director is already re-working on the script with his team of writers. "It's a family entertainer. The film has elements of comedy, drama and romance," the insider added.

Kapoor has worked with Bazmee in movies like ‘No Entry’, ‘Welcome’, ‘Welcome Back’ while it's for the first time that the ‘Ishaqzaade’ actor will team up with him.
