Actors Sunny Singh and Kriti Kharbanda will be seen together for the first time in Abir Sengupta’s neo-noir comic tragedy Risky Romeo. Abir is known for directing the Kiara Advani starrer Indoo Ki Jawani and producing the Radhika Apte starrer OTT film Mrs. Undercover.
Stating that the film depicts human behaviour in a “very unusual manner”, Abir said, “The script is filled with dark humour, outlandish characters and a surreal treatment.”
Speaking about how he got his lead actors, he said, “When I narrated the script to Sunny, he instantly picked up the essence of the film. My business partner and producer of the film Anushree Mehta then introduced me to Kriti. She too instantly connected with the script and I landed my lead cast.”
Excited to don the titular role of Risky Romeo, Sunny shared, “I have never ever played a character even close to this before. It is thrilling and challenging at the same time. This film needs me to prepare hard and completely transform myself into the character that Abir has written. His vision with this film and for my character is very unusual and that is something that I am really looking forward to. This will be the first time that I will have Kriti as my co-star and I am looking forward to the riot on set.”
Kriti added, “I have always given priority to the script and character, and I look forward to the challenge Abir has set for me.”
The film is being produced by Anushree Mehta of Jaadugar Films jointly with Priyanka Mehrotra and Rameshchandra Yadav of PR Motion Pictures. Stating that the film will offer a genre "rarely seen in Hindi cinema, they said, "Both our lead actors Sunny and Kriti will be seen in never-seen-before avatars and we cannot wait for the world to witness the same. This is a passion project in its true sense, not only for the writer-director but for everyone who is a part of Risky Romeo.”
