“Amita Madhvani and I and our full team at Ram Madhvani Films with the team at RSVP are thrilled that our film Dhamaka will be on Netflix. We know that this is our first step to a continuing relationship with a platform we highly respect and that will reach national and international audiences,” he said.
The director said he was eager to collaborate with Aaryan, the star of Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.
“Every day Kartik gave his all to the 360 degree system with which I work. His full involvement, his passion, his precise calibration as an actor is something I hugely respect. It would be great to collaborate with him again because he made my work better,” added Madhvani.
The streamer is yet to announce the date of the film’s release.
