Helmed by debutant film maker Ashish Dubey - Welcome To Agra - is a quintessential old school love story between a cycle rickshaw driver and a British tourist in Agra, set at the cusp of the millenium in 2000. The UP born director has been in Chennai, assisting some of the biggest names in the South industry like N. Lingusamy and wants to make a classical love story in Hindi since he hails from Uttar Pradesh.
Says Ashish 'Agra is the mecca of love. And I have dreamt of making this film for years. It has been a wish to work with Anshuman Sir since his debut film LSD. I am so glad he hasn't done any out and out love story in the past decade and this film will showcase the unadulterated power of genuine love and connect. With the symbol of love 'Taj Mahal' in the background, we truly hope to bring back the audiences into theatres for a pure love story. Since I feel these have ceased to exist in the modern day style of living. This film is pure- clean romance."
Says Anshuman 'I believe in the power of love and how it can move mountains. And I truly believe that as an audience we haven't really had a quintessential love story like a "DDLJ" or a 'Jab We Met' in the past decade at the movies. This film has a rare story before the times of social media and mobile phones. And I am excited to play a rickshawalla in Uttrakhand Pradesh - it's been a dream to play one"
