Two decades after actor-filmmaker duo Ajay Devgn and Anees Bazmee’s thriller was largely completed, a new producer addresses financial obstacles to facilitate a theatrical release this month

In 2019, Bazmee shared a picture featuring Ajay Devgn from the film’s shoot
For Ajay Devgn and filmmaker Anees Bazmee, life quickly transitioned from Jaani Dushman to Hum Saath Saath Hai. After all, even as the duo’s films are currently embroiled in a box-office tussle (both Devgn-starrer Singham Again and Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 released on November 1) it is their joint venture, Naam, that will hit cinema halls on November 22.
If the film’s title seems all too familiar, that wouldn’t be inappropriate. Bazmee had teased about his directorial venture back in 2019 while sharing a picture with Devgn on social media. “This was taken in Switzerland while shooting for an unreleased film, Naam. It was a suspense thriller that you would have enjoyed. I hope the film releases someday,” he had shared of the movie that never made it to theatres due to production-related issues.
