Santa Banta Pvt. Ltd. is an upcoming 2016 Bollywood Comedy drama film directed by Akashdeep Sabir and produced by Viacom 18 and will be distributed by Viacom 18 and Cinetek Telefilms.[2] The film features Vir Das, Boman Irani, Lisa Haydon and Neha Dhupia in leading roles.
Filming
According to director Akashdeep Sabir, like Spiderman and Superman, the name Santa-Banta is already a brand. The film is fun-filled, based mostly in Fiji and Punjab.[3]
The distribution rights of the film have been sold to [Viacom 18]. Director Akashdeep was quoted saying "It’s very important to have a corporate firm that believes in you. At the end of the day, I don’t have an all-India network for the film’s release. Corporate firms guarantee a good release. Distribution of films is sheer commerce with no creative satisfaction".[3]
Vir Das, who plays a Sardar in Santa-Banta, was quoted saying "The film is being shot in Ludhiana. It’s based on a very sensitive issue so the responsibility was huge, but I enjoyed doing it."[4]
The film is slated to release on the 22nd of April 2016.[5]
