It's important to maintain innocence in adult comedy: Riteish

Highlights

  • Actor Riteish Deshmukh, who would be seen in Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum, says it is important to maintain some kind of innocence in adult comedies without going overboard.
  • After the success of Kyaa Kool Hai Hum in 2005, Riteish is again pairing up with Tusshar Kapoor in the sequel.
  • Tusshar plays a struggling actor, while Ritesh is a struggling DJ. The duo play innocent men, who inadvertently get into trouble doing things. Also, both the actors are set to get dirtier with their acts in the sequel.
  • "While we were enacting few scenes for Kyaa Kool Hai Hum, we had no idea how the audience would react to those scenes, as we were attempting something new and different. We were trying to maintain the innocence. What happens is when you have a film like this...an adult comedy... to maintain innocence in it is important," Riteish told reporters after unveiling the first look of the sequel.
  • Riteish says it was the storyline that forced him to do the sequel.
  • "Tusshar and I had read one-two scripts, for this sequel, but nothing interested us that time. But this time around, Sachin came up with this script and it was accepted by Ekta Kapoor (producer), even when I read it I also liked it. Script was the main reason for me to do this sequel," he said.
  • "There is uniqueness and newness to the storyline, it takes from where the two characters left... humor is also of new kind. The humor quotient and the way of presenting it is also different."
  • The film directed by Sachin Yardi also stars Neha Sharma and Sarah Jane Dias.
  • The trailer, available on the web, opens with the signature tune and some shots from Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham. It further shows that how Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Kajol and Jaya Bachchan are being shown as thoroughly disgusted with the obscene acts of Tusshar and Riteish.
  • "When we use any footage of other film it cannot be given without the permission of the filmmaker. I must say, hats off to Karan, who has a great sense of humour. Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham is a cult classic family movie, not many people would have the guts to make fun of their film. But to understand and have a sense of humor is important," Riteish said.
  • "It (Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum) is not a family film and we are trying to say that through by using Karan's film. We are not making fun of his film, instead we are making fun of our film by saying it is not a family film. It is not about getting family together, but having fun and enjoying," he said.
  • The movie produced by Ekta and Shobha Kapoor, is up for release on August 3.
