hilarious, David Dhavan-Govinda jackpot-duo flick ‘Do not Disturb’, a Big Pictures and Puja Films joint venture, a premier teaser of which will be revealed in Macau. The other stars of the movie Riteish Deshmukh who will be co-hosting the event, David Dhavan have also touched ground at Macau a few hours back.
