Why Ekta Kapoor’s name is missing from ‘Great Grand Masti’

Recently the trailer of ‘Great Grand Masti’ was unveiled but many will have noticed the absence of producers Ekta and Shobha Kapoor’s names from the details. There is a specific reason for this, BizAsia has learnt.

The duo’s names have been replaced by��Sameer Nair and Aman Gill who are working at Balaji Motion Pictures. Said a source to Bollywood Hungama, “This phase of Ekta and Shobha Kapoor not taking credit started from the days of Kya Kool Hain Hum. In fact Shobha was not comfortable with her name being featured as a producer especially on sex comedies and hence decided to not feature in the credits. Simultaneously, Ekta being who she is (read: as superstitions as she is) didn’t want her to be there without her mother’s name in the credits and hence decided to forgo the same. But since it is an Alt Entertainment film, Sameer and Aman have been credited as producers”.

The film sees the reprise of roles from Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani. It’s scheduled to release next month.
