Ronnie Screwvala's first production in three years features Vicky Kaushal and Angira Dhar with Anand Tiwari
The romcom features Vicky Kaushal and Angira Dhar as the leads. It wrapped up towards the end of January after a 50-day schedule and Ronnie hopes to release the film later this year.
After Neeraj Ghaywan’s critically acclaimed directorial debut, ‘Masaan’, and Anurag Kashyap’s dark drama about a psycho killer, ‘Raman Raghav 2.0′, for the first time, Vicky is playing a fun character in an entertaining film. “It’s a romantic story peppered with comedy about a boy and girl trying to find a house in Mumbai. I hadn’t been a part of a happy film before this so I had a ball shooting for this one. My character, Sanjay, is ambitious and street-smart,” says the 28-year-old actor as he reminisces about his own family graduating from a 10×10 room in Malad to a one BHK, followed by a two BHK and, finally, their present sprawling apartment in Andheri.
The film was shot across Mumbai, from SoBo till beyond the suburbs of Mira Road. It is almost entirely shot on real locations. “What I found most intriguing is that the lifestyle and milieu changed every 10 km. I remember shooting in the North of the city where there were many fishermen and nobody gave a damn about us. But shooting in Parel was a task as many people turned up to see us. Anand is a Matunga boy himself and knows the city like the back of his hand,” the actor informs.
Now that his repertoire boasts of a fun film to offset the bleakness of his previous hits, can he say he likes playing one kind of character over the other? “To be honest, after every film that I do, I want the mental space to go on. After ‘Masaan’ I was enjoying the intense space and after ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’, I felt aggression had its own charm,” Vicky says.
