Romantic

“I was initially skeptical about the film. But Madhur (Bhandarkar) has brought in a certain amount of realism even in this genre and that made the film very interesting. So then I was keen," said the actor, well-known as “serial kisser” in the industry and among his fans.

Emraan’s initial reluctance to sign the first ever romantic comedy by critically acclaimed and National Award winner filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar could have stemmed from his last brush with comedy in ‘Good Boy, Bad Boy'.

“I think it is difficult to make a full-fledged comedy film. I don't know will I ever make it. I never plan about my movies…I cannot say what will be my next,” said Bhansali at a press event, when questioned, if he has any plans to produce a comedy flick in future.

Bhansali added, his films at times could be best described as serious but he always tries his level best to make them as entertaining as possible for audiences.

The film, made on a budget of Rs 40 crore, is based on Shah’s theatre play by the same name, which in turn is a copy of ‘Back to Future 1’.
