Ishwak Singh and Mahima Makwana will star in Bas Karo Aunty, an upcoming comedy-drama based on Varun Agarwal's book How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded a Million Dollar Company. 

Helmed by debutant director Abhishek Sinha and written by Nitesh Tiwari and Nikhil Mehrotra, Bas Karo Aunty started shooting recently across Mumbai.

Producers Nitesh Tiwari and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari have teamed with Star Studios, Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur to produce the film.

Published in 2012, Varun Agarwal's book revolves around a young boy's dreams of becoming an entrepreneur, despite the misgivings of his mother and her best friend Anu Aunty. 

In a joint statement, Nitesh Tiwari and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari said, "We found Varun Agarwal's journey quite captivating, and I'm thrilled about mounting this film on the story of a budding entrepreneur. Our film captures the mood and zeitgeist of the nation: India is young, jubilant, and enterprising, and "Bas Karo, Aunty!" is the perfect response to anyone trying to impede this spirit of enterprise!”

Director Abhishek Sinha added, "This film is our cinematic salute to everyone brave enough to go after their dreams."
