Anand Pandit is all set to make 2023 exciting. The veteran producer is joining hands with Eros International and Parag Sanghvi to produce sequels and re-make of two yesteryear blockbuster films that have great nostalgic value - Omkara and Desi Boyz.

They have a cult following for different reasons and it seemed like the perfect time to revisit these hits and take their stories forward for a new generation of viewers.”
