Vashu Bhagnani – The Producer

There are two essential qualities a producer needs to possess – a head for business and a heart for spotting and encouraging talent. The dynamic Vashu Bhagnani has both. That’s why in his latest Vaada, he teams up once again with Satish Kaushik after Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai to produce this unusual thriller. His casting is also atypical, with macho Arjun Rampal playing a blind man and teen favourite Zayed playing an obsessed lover. But then Vashu Bhagnani is as much an erring talent spotter as he is an astute businessman. With hit films like Coolie No.1, Hero No.1, Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Biwi No.1, Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya, Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai, Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, Deewanapan, Om Jai Jagdish, Jeena Sirf Tere Liye and Out Of Contro under his banner; he is naturally regarded as Producer no.1.

Rumy Jaffery – The Writer

When writer Rumy Jaffery and producer Vashu Bhagnani get together, it always results in a hit film. When this talented theatre actor from Bhopal first came to Mumbai in 1988, little did he know that he would have such a successful association with Puja films. Starting with Coolie No.1 in 1995, Rumy Jaffery wrote storied of Hero No.1, Biwi No.1, Bade Miyan Chote Miya, Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, for Puja Films. With VAADA he veers away from comedy and writes a gripping thriller. Soon this talented writer will be venturing into direction as well.
