In a remarkable achievement, Bollywood producer Pankaj Mamtora has made his Hollywood debut as an executive producer for the film 'Place To Be'. The movie, directed by Kornel Mundruczo, features a star-studded cast including Taika Waititi, Pamela Anderson, and Ellen Burstyn.

'Place To Be' is a story about a middle-aged man and an elderly woman who travel from Chicago to New York to return a lost racing pigeon.

Meanwhile, Chandan Roy Sanyal's 'The Playback Singer', Mamtora's previous production, is currently in the acquisition stage, and the producer is hopeful that the film's "love and melody" will soon be seen and heard by audiences.
