‘A huge learning experience for me,’ says Ishwak Singh about upcoming film, Bas Karo Aunty

Actor Ishwak Singh is quite excited about playing the male protagonist in the upcoming film Bas Karo Aunty, which will be a young adult comedy-drama produced by celebrated filmmakers Nitesh Tiwari and Ashwini Tiwari Iyer.

The film, co-written by Nitesh Tiwari and Nikhil Mehrotra, is based on Varun Agarwal's bestselling 2012 book, How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded a Million Dollar Company. Agarwal is a Bengaluru-based entrepreneur who has launched three start-ups.

Talking about the film, Ishwak said: "It is nothing less than an honour for me to be part of a project which has such maestros like Nitesh Tiwari and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari involved. Their perspective on presenting a story is completely different. Just spending time with them is nothing less than a masterclass. It will be a huge learning experience for me and I am looking forward to it (sic)."
