Comedy seems to be the in-thing these days with subjects revolving around comedy becoming a hot bet in the market. No wonder Boney Kapoor's forthcoming film, NO ENTRY, directed by Anees Bazmi, is being eagerly awaited by the trade.

A Nizam distributor, who recently caught a glimpse of the film, has been going ga-ga over the film ever since. "The film will have the audiences in splits with its perfect timing of comedy. It is hilarious to the core," says the distributor.

In the meantime, writer-director Anees Bazmi, is pleased with the excellent pre-release reports of the film.

"It is the first time I am directing a comedy though 30 of the 50 films that I have written, have all been comedies. There was RADHESHYAM SITARAM, which was supposed to be my first comedy film as a director but the film never saw the light of the day. As for NO ENTRY, the film is a laugh riot. The people in the trade who have seen it know better. I would call it the ultimate in comedy," Bazmi says.

David Dhawan will probably have to watch out for this one, considering that his distinction of being the numero uno in comedy, is likely to be challenged by none other than his once favorite writer.
