After producing films like ‘Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani’ and ‘Chalte Chalte’ under the Dreams Unlimited banner with Shah Rukh Khan, B-town’s talented Juhi Chawla turned associate producer this time around with Onir’s ‘I Am’.

Initially, being produced by Onir and Sanjay Suri, Juhi along with her husband Jai Mehta and their friends Anish and Sangita Modi have now come onboard as producers of the film.

After helping raise investors for ‘I Am’ - the country’s first crowd sourced film - Juhi expressed a desire to join Onir as associate producer. Onir, Sanjay Suri and Juhi go back a long way right from their ‘My Brother Nikhil’ days and share a great camaraderie.

Says Onir, “After we completed the entire shooting, Juhi expressed the desire to join us as an associate producer. Her addition to our team will be a big asset. I want my association with Juhi to be a very long-lasting one.”

Interestingly enough Juhi Chawla will also star in the film alongside Manisha Koirala playing the role of a Kashmiri Pandit, who returns to Kashmir after 20 years.
