MUMBAI: Built on a budget of Rs 60 million, Percept Pictures Company's (PPC) first romantic film Rubaru is ready for release on 9 May.

Directed by ad filmmaker Arjun Bali, the film stars Randeep Hooda and Shahana Goswami.

"We are producing Rubaru on a budget of Rs 60 million and are still to decide on the distribution rights. The film will be releasing on 9 May," a PPC executive tells Indiantelevision.com on condition of anonymity.

With Rubaru, not only will Hooda be stepping into the shoes of a romantic hero for the first time, but Bali will also be directing his first film for Bollywood. The film has been shot and completed in Thailand within a span of 30 days.

PPC is releasing Shoaib Mansoor's Khuda Ke Liye on 28 March all over India. The film, which has Naseeruddin Shah playing the role of a Muslim cleric, will be the first Pakistani movie to invade Indian theatres.

Khuda Ke Liye (In the Name of God), starring Pakistani actors Shaan and Iman Ali, depicts the difficult situation in which Pakistanis found themselves post 9/11.
