The company had said all three Hindi feature films would be launched by the end of calendar year 2002-2003. The first production to go on the floors was tentatively titled Tum Jo Mil Gaye. Produced by Dheeraj Kumar, the film was to be scripted by ZD Lari, with the music composed by Pyarelal, and directed by Amol Shedge. The film, a "social romantic film" with a new pair in the lead role, was to be shot in India and New Zealand and was slated for a January 2003 release. The other two films were to be launched by the end of August and September 2002 respectively.
