Mumbai: Three National award winning actors Ajay Devgn, Konkana Sen Sharma and Paresh Rawal team up for the first time for Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?. The film has been produced by Warner Bros Pictures India and Wide Frame films and directed by Ashwani Dheer.

Actress Amita Pathak, daughter of producer Kumar Mangat, takes the reins of a producer for the first time.

"The script of Atithi... itself is a non stop laugh riot and you add the comical talents of Ajay Devgn, Paresh Rawal and Konkona, we have a winner at the box office", says Denzil Dias, deputy managing director (Theatrical), Warner Bros. Pictures India.

"When my director (Ashwani Dheer) narrated the script to me, I could completely relate to it as we have also faced a similar scenario at home leading to a lot of funny and frustrating situations. We felt it made the perfect premise for a rip-roaring comedy. And that is how Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge was born," Amita said.

"I liked the script because it is very real and has some slice-of-life comic situations. It is also very cleverly written and the humour in the dialogue makes it very likable. I'm sure people from all walks of life will identify with this because every home must have had a guest who has been the bane of their lives," Devgn said.

To be shot over 50 days at Yash Raj Studios and other locales in Mumbai, the film is slated to release on February 26, 2010. The shooting is currently in progress at Yash Raj studios.
