Rajkummar-Triptii’s Film Is ‘Maha-Parivarik’

‘This

maha-parivarik 
is
because
of
Mallika
Sherawat.’

“Video

kaha
hain?
Kaha
hain
video?”
A
tense-looking
Rajkummar
Rao
gets
on
stage
and
frantically
starts
searching
for
the
missing
“video”.

Triptii
Dimri
joins
him,
and
blames
him
for
being
reckless
and
losing
the
video.

The
video
in
question
forms
the
hilarious
premise
of
Rajkummar
and
Triptii’s
first
outing
together,

Vicky
Vidya
Ka
Woh
Wala
Video
(VVKWWV).
He
is
Vicky
and
she
is
Vidya,
and
the
gag
was
to
set
the
stage
for
the
trailer
that
shows
the
shenanigans
of
a
newlywed
couple
gone
wrong.

Fresh
off
the
success
of

Stree
2,
Rajkummar
once
again
plays
a
comic
character
as
he
joins
team
with
Director
Raaj
Shaandilyaa
of

Dream
Girl
fame.

At
the
trailer
launch
event,
when
Rajkummar
was
asked
if
he
finds
comedy
his
comfort
space,
the
actor
said
he
believes
that
comedy
is
not
an
easy
genre
to
tackle
for
him.

“Comedy
is
the
toughest
genre
whether
you
know
it
or
not.
It
is
very
difficult
to
make
people
laugh,”
Rajkummar
says.

He
praised
Raaj
Shaandilyaa
for
his
expertise
in
handling
comedic
moments
and
reveals
he
was
‘on
the
floors’
during
the
script
narration.

Rajkummar
added
that
to
pull
off
a
successful
comedy
it
is
important
have
“natural”
comic
timing
and
the
collaboration
between
co-actors.

Triptii,
who
was
styled
in
a
lovely
retro
look
in
sync
with
the
film’s
theme,
nodded
to
her
co-star’s
statement
and
said
that
she
was
in
splits
every
time
Raj
would
do
a
scene
in

VVKWWV.

WATCH:
Triptii
reveals
why
she
would
often
fail
to
complete
her
scenes
during

VVKWWV

The

VVKWWV
trailer
has
a
quirky
setting
and
1990s
nostalgic
touch
to
it.
It
showcases
the
story
of
a
small
town
couple
Vidya
and
Vicky.
They
decide
to
spice
things
up
and
record
a
video
of
their
first
night
after
the
wedding.

What
could
go
wrong
goes
wrong
as
the
CD
with
the
video
is
robbed.

This
ensues
a
comedy
of
errors
involving
family
members,
townspeople
and
police
on
a
lookout
for
the
missing
disc.

“The
film
is
97
per
cent

paarivarik
(family-oriented),”
says
Raaj
Shandilyaa
and
adds,
“The
3
per
cent

maha-parivaarik.”

Tripti
and
Rajkummar
Share
Their
90s
Memories

The
surprise
element
of VVKWWV
is
Mallika
Sherawat
who
will
be
seen
playing
a
fun
character
alongside
Rajkummar
and
Triptii.

Producer
Bhushan
Kumar,
who
was
also
present
at
the
event,
revealed
that
it
was
Raaj’s
idea
to
cast
Mallika
in
the
film.

“The
reason
behind
casting
Mallika
in
the
film,
that
the
character
we
have
written
suits
her
a
lot.
The
role
tries
to
depict
the
modern
woman
of
the
late
1990s,
and
the
character
suits
Mallika
in
the
best
way,”
says
Shandilyaa.
“This

maha-parivarik
I
have
put
is
because
of
Mallika.”

outing
this
year
after

Srikanth,
Mr
and
Mrs
Mahi
and

Stree
2.

Rajkummar
was
quizzed
what
has
changed
after

Stree
2‘s
blockbuster
success,
and
he
responded
by
saying
that
he
is
“very
emotional”
because
of
some
“very
special”
messages
he
received
from
his
well-wishers.

“The
only
thing
that
has
changed
is
that
people
have
loved
the
movie.
The
love
that
people
have
given
me
on
social
media,
personal
life,
messages,
and
calls,”
the
actor
says.

“Many
people
told
me,
‘This
feels
like
a
personal
victory’.
This
made
me
emotionally
vulnerable.
A
lot
of
them
also
said,
‘We
are
connected
with
your
journey.
Your
win
is
like
our
win,
you
give
us
hope.’
All
this
was
overwhelming
for
me.”

Rajkummar
reveals
it
is
‘impossible’
to

comparisons

Akshay
Kumar,
and
others.
