MUMBAI: Directors Subhash Ghai, Abbas Mastan and Priyadarshan will soon be directing films under the Mukta Arts banner.

Mukta Arts has announced three new big budget movies for 2011 to be directed by the trio. The cast and crew of the films are being finalised and the films will all begin shooting by early 2011.

Abbas Mustan said, "Firstly we would like to congratulate Subhash Ghai on the 32nd anniversary of Mukta Arts. We have a very long association with Subhashji and are very happy to be associated with him once again. We will be starting the film for Mukta Arts in 2011. It is titled Garjann and is a fast paced thriller."

Priyadarshan added, "I have few gurus whom I learned filmmaking from, one prominent teacher has been Subhashji and my text book of entertaining and visual cinema comes from his films. It’s a great honour for me that I have been chosen as of the directors to direct a film for him. It is a great responsibility, excitement and a big water mark for my career and I believe I can do justice to the film."

Mukta Arts will also release in February 2011, a romantic entertainer Paschim Express With Love, which is under production at the moment. The movie is being produced by Ghai, which is being directed and acted by all the graduates from Whistling Woods International.
