Unveiling the Exciting Journey of ‘DONO’: Avnish S. Barjatya’s Directorial Debut with Rajveer Deol and Paloma Dhillon

Get ready for a cinematic treat as Rajshri Productions and Jio Studios present their upcoming release, ‘DONO’. This captivating film takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, featuring elements of romance, heartbreak, self-discovery, and closure. The backdrop of a luxurious destination wedding in Thailand adds to the allure of the story, which introduces two promising newcomers to Bollywood. Rajveer Deol, the younger son of Sunny Deol, shares the screen with Paloma Dhillon, daughter of Poonam Dhillon, in the directorial debut of Avnish S. Barjatya, son of veteran filmmaker Sooraj R. Barjatya.

Bringing together a debutant director and debutant actors adds an intriguing dynamic to the project. Avnish S. Barjatya, the writer and director of ‘DONO’, has taken a hands-on approach in shaping the performances of his lead actors. With meticulous preparation spanning over four years, including extensive workshops, script readings, rehearsals, and creative freedom for improvisation, Avnish forged a strong bond between Rajveer, Paloma, and himself. This groundwork proved instrumental during the 70+ days of shooting, resulting in performances that stand out and promise a unique cinematic experience.

Avnish S. Barjatya, the new-generation director from the esteemed Rajshri lineage, has redefined the art of filmmaking. His emphasis on thorough preparation shines through in ‘DONO’. Avnish dedicated almost two years to running workshops with Rajveer Deol and Paloma Dhillon, ensuring they were fully immersed in their respective roles. The film’s production faced two interruptions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, providing the talented newcomers ample time for extensive workshops and script analysis. This deep dive into their characters allowed them to connect emotionally with the story, a process facilitated by Avnish’s meticulous guidance and commitment.

What distinguishes ‘DONO’ as a contemporary Rajshri film is Avnish Barjatya’s approach of nurturing Rajveer Deol and Paloma Dhillon’s natural acting instincts. On set, Avnish encouraged the actors to tap into their creativity, fostering organic performances that captured authentic emotions and relatable reactions. This approach breathes life into the scenes, making them resonate with audiences on a genuine level.

‘Rajshri Productions’, with a legacy spanning 76 years, proudly presents ‘DONO’ as a celebration of their rich cinematic journey. As the fourth generation of the family takes the reins, the oldest production house in the country remains committed to introducing fresh talent across various aspects of filmmaking. In association with Jio Studios, Rajshri’s 59th Film Production ‘DONO’ is directed by Avnish S. Barjatya and produced by Kamal Kumar Barjatya, Late Rajkumar Barjatya, and Ajit Kumar Barjatya. The creative production is led by Sooraj R. Barjatya. ‘DONO’ is set to enchant audiences in theaters starting October 5th.”
