AAP Entertainment’s Tukkaa Fitt seems to be one film that will set the box-office registers rolling. Or so it seemed with the trade and the entertainment industry thronging to be part of this AAP Entertainment venture’s First Look Unveiling.
The auspicious moment was at the hands of Akshay Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty and a horde of other celebs at Novotel Hotel, Mumbai on May 11. The team of the film had a special bond which was apparent. Director Shawn Arranha was visibly excited on the response the film received. The unveiling of the poster was graced by the entire team together.
AAP Entertainment’s Tukkaa Fitt, directed by Shawn Arranha and produced by Premal Gora Gandhi, stars Mahaakshay Chakraborty, Vaishali Desai, Hiten Paintal and Rajpal Yadav in key roles. Tukkaa Fitt is a comic story of three vagabonds and their journey to hit jackpot. It deals with money chase, aspirations attached to the money and the money unloading its problems onto others. It’s a bull’s eye even in the most remote chance. It’s like someone hitting a jackpot by fluke. This film interplays with all characters and we introduce a gamut of comedians with their new shades of characterization. This film has a cast that also includes Mukul Dev, Mukesh Tiwari, Sunil Pal, Amit Mistry, Viveck Vaswani, Mahesh Manjrekar to add a laughing riot on the comedy landscape.
