SaysTannishtha Chatterjee , ”When I told Ravi that I have written a Romcom called Dhokacola which has been shortlisted for the APSA MPA film fund he immediately said “it’s a quirky title I want to produce it.”" Says Ravi Walia, "While working on Roam Rome Mein, Tannishtha told us about the idea of Dhoka Cola. I loved the title immediately when i read the script i knew i had to produce it. The script has a  young, contemporary and funny treatment and it’s in the great space of music, love story and a great idea.  The  fact that the script has been shortlisted in top 15 at the prestigious APSA fund is a mark of how strong her script is. I’m really looking forward to collaborating with Tannishtha again on Dhoka Cola after a wonderful experience on Roam Rome Mein.” Writer-director-actor Tannishtha Chatterjee  is currently  working on post production of her directorial debut Rome Rome Mein, which stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
