Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri share screen space for the first time in the romantic comedy Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Who Wala Video. The film's trailer was released a few days ago and caught the attention of many for its quirky premise, where a newlywed couple's personal video gets stolen. In a new interview with Midday, director Raaj Shaandilyaa says that the film is made ‘for the middle class’.
What the director said
During the chat, Raaj said, "The idea was that a huge population of our country is coy, yet children are born every second. We are living in a world where any video can go viral within seconds. So, we decided to make a film for the middle class that has a message with a lot of humour and romance. I also wanted to explore the plight of the people at whose expense we laugh. [At the same time], we wanted to explore how people from small towns facing this dilemma would feel.”
The director also shared about writing a comedy and making sure that it gets a good reception. “When I am writing, I am conscious that it should be something that the majority enjoys and no one should get hurt,” he added.
