The theatres have been opened all around the country after the pandemic. Despite the fact, some popular filmmakers, whether from the South or Bollywood film industry are skipping theatre releases and are going with the OTT option, multiple releases at a time might be the one of reasons.
One more film has been added to that list and it is popular filmmaker Sidharth Sengupta’s crime comedy Good Luck Jerry. Sidharth Sengupta had helmed many projects in the past such as TV show Balika Vadhu and ALT Balaji series Apharan. Pankaj Matta is the show-runner of the film.
The film is Hindi remake of Nelson Dilipkumar’s 2018 Tamil black comedy crime series Kolamaavu Kokila that starred leading actress Nayanthara in the lead role alongside supporting star cast Yogi Babu, Saranya Ponvannan, R.S. Shivaji, Charles Vinoth and Hareesh Peradi.
Good Luck Jerry is produced by Subaskaran Allirajah along with Anand L. Rai and holds the banners of Lyca Productions, Colour Yellow Productions and Sundial Entertainment while the cinematography is handled by Rangarajan Ramabadran.
