Paloma and Rajveer Deol in the poster of Dono
Sooraj Barjatya's son Avnish is all set to don the director's hat with his debut film, titled 'Dono'. While Rajshri's fourth generation is foraying into the film world, 'Dono' isn't just Avnish's directorial debut. The film will also launch Sunny Deol's son Rajveer and Poonam Dhillon's daughter Paloma in Bollywood.
Announcing the film, the makers took to social media to share a beautiful poster. In the poster, Rajveer and Paloma can be seen sitting on a beach at a distance from each other. They are seen looking at the beautiful sunset with their back to the camera. The film has the tagline, 'two strangers...one destination".
Sharing the poster, the makers wrote, "It's the start of a new beginning!#Dono, TEASER OUT TOMORROW!". Sunny Deol also took to his Instagram handle to share the poster which will mark the first film of his younger son.
Earlier this year, Rajveer's elder brother actor Karan Deol had shared a picture of him and Sunny Deol posing with the actor-to-be on the sets of his film in Thailand. "Bonding Time! Visiting Rajveer at His Shoot!," he wrote sharing the picture.
Earlier, Avnish Barjatya had said in a statement, "Paloma is a powerful performer and has tremendous screen presence. She is the perfect fit for my character. Her immense work ethic and enthusiasm make it so exciting to be working with her every day. Paloma and Rajveer share great chemistry together on screen and play off each other really well. They have both seamlessly blended into their roles."
Rajshri is all set to tell a love story of two strangers who have one destination. 'Dono' will be repeating history of 'Maine Pyar Kiya', where a debutant director from Rajshri launched two fresh faces in a memorable love story. 'Dono' is a special film to the pioneer production house as the direction baton is being passed on to the next generation in the family. Avnish will helm Rajshri's 59th film as a director, having previously worked as an Assistant Director on the mega blockbuster 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' (2015) and as an Associate Director on the critically acclaimed 'Uunchai' (2022).
Rajshri, in its 75 year old legacy has been a production house of debutants, launching fresh talent in all streams of film with pride. For its 59th Film Production, titled 'Dono', Rajshri Productions (P) Ltd. is in association with Jio Studios. Directed By - Avnish S. Barjatya and produced by Kamal Kumar Barjatya, Late Rajkumar Barjatya, Ajit Kumar Barjatya. Creative Production is led by Sooraj R. Barjatya. Dono will be releasing in cinemas soon.
