Abhay Verma and Shanaya Kapoor
What does JC stand for? That’s what we wondered when the Abhay Verma and Shanaya Kapoor-starrer, so titled, was announced last March. Well, now that the comic caper is nearing its release, producer Vikesh Bhutani is ready to unveil the official name. “Jacob Cardoso is its full title,” he told mid-day.
Directed by Shujaat Saudagar, the comedy is reportedly set in 1987. “It’s a beautiful film set in Goa, around the time when it was becoming a state. It’s a period caper,” added Bhutani.
