Yuppie director Ajay Bhuyan's Housefu l, his debut release is yet to be released but Dhada happened too quickly and sank at the same pace.

Undeterred by the failure, Ajay took his next script to Mumbai, the place of his dreams and has finally made it. “This time it will be a scathing comedy and we have roped in stand up comedian Vir Das, who was seen in Delhi Belly . It is a big break for me. The hunt for the heroine is on and the movie will be less than two hours long,” says the director from Mumbai.

He will be hiring more than two music directors for the story though music will not play a big part. It is being produced by Eros while Tina Nagpal and Kavita Kulkarni of Pyxis will be the distributors. The shooting will begin in May and go on till July; The release however will happen in October-November.

One hears that the producers were wary of signing Ajay as he was a south Indian and feared he could come up with something similar to Singham and were convinced only after going through the very metro kind of script. Will Houseful ever be released? “That you must ask Chandra Siddarth, the producer,” quips Bhuyan.
