After the success of Total Dhamaal (2019), director Indra Kumar, actor Ajay Devgn and producer Ashok Thakeria have joined hands again for a film titled Thank God. This time, Devgn has Sidharth Malhotra and Rakul Preet Singh as co-stars. The film, which is being produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, is set to go on the floors on 21 January.
According to a statement from the makers, Thank God is unlike any of Indra Kumar’s previous blockbusters. "The director is creating this film in a newer avatar with laughter and a beautiful message at the end which will connect with families and be relatable in today’s world (sic),” the statement read.
Indra Kumar said, “We have been waiting for a long time to begin the shoot and, finally, we will start on 21 January, ‘Thank God!’ It is an entertaining slice-of-life comedy with a message and I am quite excited to be working again with Ajay Devgn whom I’ve known for so many years along with the young guns Sidharth and Rakul. I am also happy to join hands with Bhushan Kumar and the T-Series team. Hopefully, it all goes well as we have taken all the necessary precautions. Looking forward to a great 2021.”
Bhushan Kumar believes Indra Kumar’s commercial sensibilities will work again. “Thank God is a very interesting and entertaining script. Indra Kumar’s films are hardcore commercial laughter riots and it is a pleasure to collaborate with him and Ashok ji on this one. I have worked with Ajay sir and he aces this genre while Sidharth and Rakul will show their fans something new with Thank God,” he said.
Devgn has worked with Singh in De De Pyaar De (2019) and the artistes will share the screen in the upcoming film Mayday (2021). He will be working with Malhotra for the first time. Malhotra, on the other hand, has worked with Singh in Marjaavaan (2019).
