Tollywood's tryst with comedy seems to continue with Auto 9696. The film, to be directed by debutant filmmaker Aritra Mukherjee, aims to tickle your funnybone with effortless ease. And if all goes well, the movie will go on the floors on October 9.
Aritra, who has directed ad films before, has now roped in Arjun Chakrabarty, Amrita Chattopadhyay and Paran Bandopadhyay in prominent roles.
���It's a satire that revolves around Kelo, an auto driver, who aspires to be an actor some day. To draw attention of the filmmakers, Kelo deliberately keeps driving his auto in and around the studio para. Kelo adores Shah Rukh Khan. He aspires to become an actor of SRK's stature so that he can romance a pretty heroine (actress yet to be decided). Kelo's childhood friend Chumki, played by Amrita, happens to be his confidante.Whether there is a romantic angle between Kelo and Chumki is for the audience to figure out. The film mocks the whole episode of trials and tribulations that a newcomer has to face in order to get a foothold in the industry," informed Aritra, who has written the story and the screenplay along with Priyanka.

Amrita, who has worked with Arjun in Janala Diye Bou Palalo, said, ���My character, Chumki, shares a deep bond with Kelo, who can come up to her and say he is in love with a heroine. Now, Chumki has a soft corner for Kelo. But she could never express her feelings for him. However, as the story progresses, their relationship takes an interesting turn. The script is hilarious."
Arjun, too, has fallen in love with the script and feels that Kelo's character will help him showcase his acting skills. ���My character has various shades to it. The film is about
Kelo's journey ��� his dreams, sorrows, passion, fantasies and a lot more. Auto 9696 has a message too, that says one should always remain grounded, no matter how successful they become in life," smiled Arjun.
While Supriyo Dutt has been roped in as the DoP of the film, the music will be scored by Souvik Gupta.
