Filmmaker Anand L Rai will be producing eight different kind of films this year.
Rai will also be producing director Rahul Sankalya's "Nimmo" and a quirky romantic-comedy titled "Shubh Mangal Saavdhan" to be directed by R S Prasanna, a press release issued here said.
The filmmaker will also team up with director Mudassar Aziz after "Happy Bhag Jayegi" on another film and critically acclaimed director Navdeep Singh of "NH10" fame for a project that is currently in the scripting stage, it said.
The 45-year-old filmmaker will also be co-producing a film with Ajay Rai and Alan McAlex, to be directed by Geetu Mohandas, who's last film "Liar's Dice" was India's official entry at the 87th Academy Awards, it added.
Script writer Himanshu Sharma, who shot to fame for his work in the "Tanu Weds Manu" franchise and "Raanjhanaa" fame, may soon be launched as director under Rai's home production banner.
The "Tanu Weds Manu" director recently joined hands with Anurag Kashyap, who will work on two films for the former. One of them is an intense love story-musical, set in a small town, it said.
Rai is currently working on one of the most anticipated films--his next directorial venture with Shah Rukh Khan, which goes on floors this year.
