Gulabo Sitabo is said to be produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar. Talking about the family comedy which set in Lucknow, Sircar earlier said, “After Piku and Vicky Donor, I had been wanting to work with Mr. Bachchan and Ayushmann on an equally quirky script so this fell perfectly in place.”
Ayushmann calls it a great opportunity
Ayushmann will be joining the team right after he finishes working on his other upcoming project titled Bala. In an interview with the star he was asked if he was excited or nervous to work with Big B for the first time, Ayushmann in reply said, “Both, it’s like mixed feelings. I have butterflies in my stomach. I don’t know how will I feel when I face Mr. Bachchan for the first time on screen together. And I am excited as Shoojit Sircar and Juhi Chaturvedi (screenwriter) are coming together with him after Piku. It is a dream team.”
